Exclusive: All eyes are on Trump's visit to China but Putin is next. The Russian leader will pay a one-day visit to Beijing on May 20, sources say, with little expectations that there will be an elaborate parade or welcome. scmp.com/news/china/dip…

Two cents on Han Zheng receiving Trump: 1. Not the first time ch had a Vice President to welcome POTUS at airport. VP Xi greeted Obama at bj airport in 2009; 2. Worth noting that Han is not a member of the Politburo so not part of the core policy team

Jensen Huang is now joining President Trump on his trip to China, according to the White House. The Nvidia CEO boarded Air Force One in Alaska during a refueling stop.

US Secretary of State Marco Rubio is on Air Force One heading to Beijing, confirming our earlier scoop that he will visit China despite earlier Chinese sanctions against him. More in our story on his initial hesitance and Beijing’s repeated offers.

China (finally) confirms Trump's visit

What really is a ceasefire?

Rubio on Trump’s China visit: - Taiwan will be discussed and "both countries understand that it is in neither of our interests to see anything destabilising happen in that part of the world” - Human rights issues important and the US will raise them in the "appropriate" way

There has been this worry in China that US could escalate the war after Trump went to Beijing, insinuating that China has supported it, to muddy Iran’s relations with China (much like claims that Riyadh has asked US to finish the job). Araghchi’s visit to Beijing may be intended to get Tehran and Beijing aligned before Trump’s visit.

In a call with reporters just now, Adm. Brad Cooper of @CENTCOM says Iran has opened fire on U.S. warships and commercial vessels today, but declines to say whether the ceasefire between the U.S. and Iran is over. U.S. forces returned fire and destroyed some Iranian small boats.

WASHINGTON (AP) — White House officially tells Congress it considers Iran war 'terminated' despite presence of US armed forces in region.
