???? Trump-Xi meeting in Iowa would be poignant reminder of better U.S.-China ties
U.S. President Donald Trump's suggestion that he could sign a trade deal with Chinese President Xi Jinping in Iowa has set off a flurry of excitement in Muscatine, Iowa, a city on the banks of the Mississippi River that has hosted Xi twice since 1985.Xi received a key to the 24,000-population city during his first visit, when he led an agricultural study group and stayed at the home of a local family. He also met and befriended then-governor Terry Branstad, who is now Trump's ambassador to Beijing. Xi returned with much fanfare in 2012 as China's vice president, visiting that home and meeting with a dozen local Old Friends - people he had met in the 1980s. Those were more hopeful times in U.S.-China relations, before Trump kicked off a debilitating tit-for-tat tariff war, and the U.S. Secretary of State declared Xi's ruling Communist Party truly hostile to the United States and our values. U.S. and Chinese trade negotiators are now racing to complete the text of a phase one agreement that could defuse the 16-month trade war. Tariffs have had an outsized impact on farmers in Iowa, a big exporter of soybeans. Trump last week said he hoped to sign the trade deal with Xi at a U.S. site, perhaps in Iowa. The location is still in flux, but one Beijing official said Xi is willing to travel to the United States. Chuck Grassley, the Iowa Republican who chairs the Senate Finance Committee, said Iowa would be a great place to sign the trade deal. Farmers in particular have been hard hit by the trade war and deserve recognition for their sacrifice, he said. Greg Jenkins, who heads the Greater Muscatine Chamber of Commerce and Industry, said the community was keen to host a Trump-Xi visit, but he had not been contacted by either side. It would be really appropriate to have that happen, given the long relationship we've had with China and President Xi, Jenkins said. The city's ties to China may have been an accident of history, but people have worked awfully hard to ensure that it is retained. This year, the Shanghai Symphony will perform a free concert for the people of Muscatine, the fifth year of such arrangements that help keep ties close, he said. The split-level house that Xi first visited in Muscatine has been purchased by a Chinese businessman, and renamed the Sino-U.S. Friendship House. It regularly draws visitors from China. Lee Belfield, general manager of the 122-room Merrill Hotel which opened in Muscatine in 2017 in part with Chinese funds, said he would bend over backwards to accommodate any request to host the meeting. 'IOWA IS IMPORTANT' While Xi's historical ties to Muscatine might mean he would receive a particularly warm welcome, an Iowa signing would also be a politically-savvy move for Trump, trade experts said. Iowa is important. It's Trump country. It's the farm base, said Ralph Winnie, director of the China program at the Eurasia Center in Washington. The people are warm and hardworking, so they will be wonderful hosts and that's always key. When you go to China, you're treated as an honored guest, the Chinese will expect to be treated the same way when they come. When the Chinese leader visited Iowa in 2012, he told the Muscatine Journal: You were the first group of Americans I came into contact with. To me, you are America. Steve Bradford, senior vice president at HNI Corp, a Muscatine-based Fortune 100 company that builds office furniture, said a U.S.-China trade deal would help his company, no matter where it was signed. These tariffs have had a stifling effect on business. Removing them would benefit the U.S. and China, he said. HNI employs about 4,000 people in Iowa, many of whom live in or near Muscatine, he said.

Xi Jinping Visits Northeast China's Jilin Province
Chinese president Xi Jinping visited northeast China's Jilin Province from Thursday to Saturday to learn about and encourage the economic and social development in Jilin Province.
Xi visited villages, enterprises and residential communities in Yanbian Korean Autonomous Prefecture that borders the Democratic People's Republic of Korea, and Changchun, a heavy industry base in Jilin.
High speed train made in China is a remarkable symbol for us. On the one hand, it stands for the level of Chinese manufacture; on the other hand, it is in great demand all over the world under the strategy of 'Go Global' and 'One Belt and One Road', said Xi.
During the visit and while giving instructions to local officials, Xi stressed the importance of doing a good job in mapping out the 13th Five-year Plan.
According to Xi, a new normal of China's economy has emerged, meaning the Chinese economy has shifted gear from the previous high-speed to a medium-to-high speed growth, the economic structure is constantly improved and upgraded, and the economy is increasingly driven by innovation instead of input and investment. Therefore, China should boost its economy with a more advanced form, more upgraded labor division and more rational structure.

Chinese President Visits Southwest China's Guizhou Province
Chinese President Xi Jinping visited southwest China's Guizhou Province from Tuesday to Thursday.
Xi visited the Red Army Mountain Martyrs Memorial Park and the Site of the Zunyi Conference in Zunyi City, Guizhou Province.
He also met with people from local agritainment, which is farm-based tourism, and includes family style activities, such as corn mazes, haunted hay rides, and pick-your-own pumpkins.
The president also inspected the temperature-controlled greenhouse of an agricultural park in Zunyi City.
Xi also visited the big data square in the provincial capital of Guiyang, viewing the presentation of the development, planning, and practical application of the big data industry at the demonstration center.
Big data refers to enormous sets of data that cannot be analyzed by using traditional processing. The data can be used by businesses and governments to analyze trends and improve services.
At the product exhibition center, Xi also commended the online health advice service where local companies plan to gather over 1,000 top doctors to offer high-end health services through internet.
President Xi was impressed by the province's efforts to try to promote economic and social development through developing the big data industry.
Guizhou Province, one of the least developed provinces in China, has emerged at the center of China's big data ambitions since 2014, with Alibaba Group and other tech leaders moving to cash in on the big data boom.
The president then went to a machinery industry school in Guiyang to learn about the vocational-education development in the province.
He also exchanged views with students and teachers in the school.
