Though Secretary Tillerson and President Xi described the U.S.-Sino relationship as based on \u201ccooperation,\u201d Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi later indirectly rebukes Trump for his comments. According to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/world\/2017\/mar\/18\/china-rejects-trump-criticisms-over-north-korea\">Guardian<\/a>, Wang stated that China\u2019s \u201ctremendous and important efforts\u201d to curtail North Korea\u2019s nuclear program is, \u201cvisible to all.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Another point of contention between the U.S. and China has been the deployment of the U.S.\u2019 Terminal High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD) missile defense system to South Korea. Though China believes that it would fall under the protection of the missile defense system, it opposes its deployment in South Korea. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.reuters.com\/article\/us-southkorea-politics-usa-thaad-idUSKBN16H29S\">According to Reuters<\/a>, China has begun to limit the business activities of South Korean companies operating in China and the travel of its citizens to South Korea, which could lead to the removal of the system.<\/p>\n<p>In his short meeting with President Xi, Tillerson also disclosed details of an upcoming summit President Trump will host at his Florida estate in April. According to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2017\/03\/19\/world\/asia\/rex-tillerson-xi-jinping-north-korea.html?rref=collection%2Fsectioncollection%2Fworld&amp;action=click&amp;contentCollection=world&amp;region=rank&amp;module=package&amp;version=highlights&amp;contentPlacement=1&amp;pgtype=sectionfront&amp;_r=1\">New York Times<\/a>, the topics of the summit will include discussion on a proposed plan to place tariffs on Chinese goods, in addition to reaffirm U.S. support of the One China Policy. This summit will be the first time President Trump and President Xi meet in person.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to tensions surrounding Secretary Tillerson\u2019s visit to China due to President Trump\u2019s statements, Tillerson has experienced critique of his own decisions. In a somewhat unusual decision, Secretary Tillerson refused to take a press pool with him on his plane to China. According to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.businessinsider.com\/tillerson-north-korea-china-japan-south-korea-nuclear-weapons-2017-3\">Business Insider<\/a>, the primary reason that he chose not to take any press was to save money; he also indicated that he preferred spending the plane ride working, commenting that \u201cthere is a lot of work to do\u201d in the early stages of his term.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>U.S. Secretary of State Rex Tillerson met with Chinese President Xi Jinping hours after North Korea tested a new rocket engine design, created for \u201cworld satellite delivery capability.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3721,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"colormag_page_container_layout":"default_layout","colormag_page_sidebar_layout":"default_layout","_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[382,383,386],"tags":[904,1037,1040],"class_list":["post-5515","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-international-news","category-us","category-asia","tag-xi-jinping","tag-north-korea-nuclear-program","tag-rex-tillerson"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.3 -
