Donald Trump was given a savage new nickname in China after his major meeting with President Xi Jinping.

Chinese users on the social media have started calling the 79-year-old president “Chuan Jianguo,” which translates to “Trump the Country Builder,” The Mirror reported.

As per reports, the nickname, which spread online after Trump visited Beijing last week, is actually meant as an insult, with many joking that his policies and tariffs have helped the East Asian nation to become more self-reliant by increasing technology, energy, and food production.

Xi raises concerns over ‘Thucydides Trap’ during meeting

Last Thursday marked the seventh face-to-face meeting between Trump and Xi since their first meeting in 2017.

During the summer, the Chinese leader referenced the ‘Thucydides Trap,’ a theory often used to describe rising tensions between powerful nations.

“Whether China and the United States can transcend the so-called Thucydides Trap and create a new normalization of relations between major powers,” he said, would determine “whether we can join hands to address global challenges and inject greater stability into the world.”

Also, he spoke about ‘the future destiny of humanity’ and the need to build ‘a better future for bilateral relations’.

In the meantime, Trump struck a warm tone, telling Xi: “You’re a great leader…sometimes people don’t like me saying it, but I say it anyway, because it’s true.

“It’s an honor to be with you. It’s an honor to be your friend,” he said, adding that “the relationship between China and the USA is going to be better than ever before”.

Trump spoke about Taiwan after meeting

Trump avoided speaking publicly about Taiwan while in China, but discussed it with reporters on Air Force One after leaving Beijing.

“President Xi and I talked a lot about Taiwan,” he said, adding that Xi “does not want to see a fight for independence because that would be a very strong confrontation,” per The Independent. “I heard him out,” Trump said, but “I didn’t make a comment”.

The US president also suggested he may reconsider a previously approved arms package for Taiwan after hearing Xi’s concerns.

His administration had authorized an $11 billion weapons package for Taipei in December, while lawmakers later approved another $14 billion sale in January.

When asked whether the US would intervene militarily if China attacked Taiwan, the president declined to give a direct answer, remaining consistent with Washington’s long-standing policy of “strategic ambiguity”.
