Xi Jinping is getting ready for a U.S. state visit. The U.S. military will provide him with a full-honors White House welcome. A Trump-Xi summit is anticipated during the trip. Ahead of the trip, Jimmy Lai's son pleaded in Washington, D.C. for the release of his father. Advocates also urged Trump to raise the matter. Nikkei analysis says the Trump factor restricts Xi's outreach to Modi. Separately, a report that Xi suffered a stroke at the BRICS Summit was eventually given a community note.
