China sends vice president to Trump inauguration – a sign of hope!

On January 20, 2025, Donald Trump will be ceremoniously sworn in as the 47th President of the United States. At this important ceremony in Washington D.C. China's Vice President Han Zheng is traveling as a special envoy, the Chinese Foreign Ministry confirmed. This invitation to a high-ranking politician has been interpreted as a sign of cooperation between the US and China, despite strained trade relations and Trump's threat of new tariffs. The decision to send Han instead of allowing Xi Jinping to attend in person could indicate that the government in Beijing is cautious about its appearance so as not to jeopardize its own position. How today.at Reportedly, other important heads of state and government were also invited, but Beijing hesitated for a long time before making a commitment.

The inauguration will take place during the Martin Luther King Jr. holiday and will be accompanied by major celebrations, including performances by Carrie Underwood and the legendary disco group Village People. These musical performances are part of an extensive program that begins on Saturday and includes a reception and fireworks display. The swearing-in ceremony itself, which begins at 12 p.m., is just one of many program items in this festive week USA Today reported. There will also be numerous more traditional events, such as a ceremony at Arlington National Cemetery and a large parade through Washington. Amid these celebrations, tragically, Brazil's former president Jair Bolsonaro will not be allowed to attend the ceremony as the country's Supreme Court refused to return his passport, preventing his escape from prosecution.

Trump, who emerged victorious in the November 2024 election, will take the oath of office and take the baton from Joe Biden, who has decided not to run again after just one term. This inauguration is historic as Trump becomes the first person since Grover Cleveland to regain his seat in the White House after an election loss. The USA is facing a moment that could have a massive impact on the country's political landscape.
