BEIJING/KUALA LUMPUR (Reuters) -Chinese President Xi Jinping is unlikely to attend a major summit of Asian leaders in October, two people familiar with the matter said, dashing expectations of a potential meeting with U.

The leaders of China’s failing state have been defying the laws of geopolitics: they have consistently gotten the better of the most powerful figure in the world, President Donald Trump of the United States of America.

Trump’s major gamble on China continues to pay off, with Chinese negotiators willing to make some concessions. Trump has maintained very high tariffs on America’s second-biggest trading partner without tipping the economy into recession.

Amid the ongoing tariff tensions between India and the United States, Prime Minister Narendra Modi will undertake a two-nation visit to Japan and China from August 29 to September 1, which includes participation in the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO) Summit in Tianjin, the Ministry of External Affairs said on Friday.

Scott Bessent, the U.S. Treasury Secretary, shared his thoughts on China's economy and the challenges it poses to the U.S.
