U.S. President Donald Trump's state visit to China will help expand cooperation between the world's two largest economies amid growing global uncertainty, according to a business insider.
Elliott Johnson, founder of Byron East, a platform to provide business consulting services in China, said the encounter is "hugely significant" not only for the two countries' economies, but for the global economy as well.
With the two leaders meeting in person, an event that does not occur every year, the visit is being viewed as a pivotal opportunity to set the tone for future cooperation between the two countries, he said.
"I would rate the meeting today between the two presidents as hugely significant to not only the economies of the United States and China, but the global economy. The global economy is very much intertwined with supply chains and logistics networks spreading well beyond just the US and China. In terms of the outcomes, the outcomes that I think I would like to see today, it is already a significant occasion with the two presidents meeting in person, which doesn't happen every year. And so from outcomes, I think mutual understanding across areas where the two countries can work together, increasing the number of areas of collaboration," said Johnson.
At the invitation of Chinese President Xi Jinping, Trump is on a state visit to China from Wednesday to Friday.
A business delegation, including Tesla CEO Elon Musk, Apple CEO Tim Cook, and Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang, accompanied Trump on this visit.
Trump's China visit to boost cooperation: business insider
Tajik President Emomali Rahmon on Wednesday invited Chinese manufacturers to come to Tajikistan, leverage complementary strengths and promote economic and trade exchanges and mutually beneficial cooperation in the future.
After arriving in southwest China's Chongqing Municipality on Wednesday, he visited carmaker Seres' super factory and an industrial park owned by motorcycle manufacturer Zonsen Group.
During his site visits, Rahmon paid close attention to all aspects of the manufacturing process and got behind the wheel of a car.
Rahmon said Chinese manufacturing enterprises boast a high level of automation and smart manufacturing, and the products of these two companies had made a good impression on him.
He noted that Tajikistan has abundant mineral resources and a strong labor force and the two sides can draw on each other's strengths. He invited Chinese companies to invest and establish operations in the country.
Rahmon added that Tajikistan is ready to deepen bilateral economic and trade exchanges with China and advance more pragmatic cooperation in the future.
In recent years, economic and trade cooperation between China and Tajikistan has grown rapidly. In 2025, bilateral trade exceeded 30.8 billion yuan (about 4.5 billion U.S. dollars), up 12.5 percent year on year.
In the evening, Rahmon also watched a drone light show, where 5,000 drones lit up the night sky to create a spectacular display of light and technology.
Rahmon was on a state visit to China from Monday to Thursday at the invitation of Chinese President Xi Jinping.
