“After a nine-year hiatus, United States President Donald Trump once again set foot on Chinese soil”
VERIFIED BY REFERENCE
Wikipedia explicitly documents a state visit by Donald Trump to China from May 13-15, 2026, noting it was his second visit and the first of his second presidency. His first visit was in November 2017. The gap between November 2017 and May 2026 is approximately 8.5 years, aligning with the 'nine-year hiatus' claim.
