President Trump has a delicate relationship with President Xi, with whom he has claimed a "quite extraordinary" personal relationship
Although America's president is the leader of the Free World, he has refused to descend on China after the country's Communist Party called for the removal of presidential term limits.
Hear Sarah Sanders, the White House spokeswoman:
"I believe that's a decision for China to make.
"The president has talked about term limits in a number of capacities during the campaign and something that he supports here in the United States, but that's a decision that's up to China.''
The guarded US reaction reflects reality, but also Trump's long-standing reluctance to criticize undemocratic regimes.
Just like Washington, China has been angered by Kim Jong Un's provocative behavior. However, it has also been wary of economic pressure that could bring the collapse of the Pyongyang regime.
