Politico cited the reason for Xi Jinping's reluctance to hold a meeting with Trump

Chinese President Xi Jinping does not want a personal meeting with US President Donald Trump because of incidents such as those that occurred during meetings with Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky and South African President Cyril Ramaphosa at the White House. This was reported by the Politico newspaper on June 3, citing sources.

"China was shocked by Trump's public shows in the Oval Office, including high—profile meetings with Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky and South African leader Cyril Ramaphosa," the newspaper said.

In addition, the newspaper's sources said that Trump is confident in resolving trade issues between China and the United States through a conversation. At the same time, Beijing is reluctant to engage in dialogue between the leaders of the countries, as they consider the American leader unpredictable and fear that possible incidents during the meeting could affect Xi Jinping's image, the source explained.
