Trump arrives in China to talk trade and North Korea


Shanghai, China - A trade deficit that US President Donald Trump has called "embarrassing" and the increasing threat posed by North Korea will be atop the agenda on his first official visit to Beijing on Wednesday.
Trump has embarked on a 12-day trip to the Asia-Pacific and will arrive in China just two weeks after the end of the 19th Communist Party congress, which saw President Xi Jinping
consolidate his power .
Describing Trump's tour as a "historic opportunity", China's ambassador to the US, Cui Tiankai, said the "state visit-plus" will include a banquet, a military honour guard, and other "special arrangements". While the Chinese government is expected to give Trump lavish treatment, many Chinese are less excited about his visit.
"Lots of Chinese people don't like Trump, and he doesn't like us," Zhang Xing, a 24-year-old woman who works for a Spanish trading company and is originally from Xi'an, home of China's famous terracotta army and capital of Shaanxi province in central China, told Al Jazeera.
