Xi got Trump's red carpet welcome - but not everything he wanted

President Xi Jinping's summits with Donald Trump have one clear aim.

China believes the United States is trying to contain its rise as a superpower, and it wants Washington to stay out of its way - particularly when it comes to trade, technology and Taiwan.

On this visit, however, despite Trump rolling out the red carpet for him, the Chinese leader didn't get everything he wanted.

The trade truce that saw both countries pause a tit-for-tat tariff war and prevent a further escalation, was extended by only a few months - from November to January.

Beijing had hoped for at least a year as Xi looks to ride out the remainder of Trump's presidency.
