US leader Donald Trump said Tuesday he would ask President Xi Jinping to "open up" China to US business when the two meet in Beijing this week for high-stakes talks.
"I will be asking President Xi, a Leader of extraordinary distinction, to 'open up' China so that these brilliant people can work their magic, and help bring the People's Republic to an even higher level!" Trump wrote on social media, referring to US business CEOs accompanying him on the trip.
