Xi Jinping Laughs at Autopen Portrait During White House Tour with Trump

Chinese President Xi Jinping was observed laughing at a portrait of President Joe Biden during a tour of the White House with former President Donald Trump on September 24th.

The incident occurred as Trump, who faced off against Biden in the 2024 presidential election, hosted Jinping for a tour of the White House prior to a bilateral meeting and a state dinner. The autopen portrait, a common item used by presidents to sign documents when they cannot be present, became a focal point of the visit.

Jinping's reaction was captured on video during the tour. The visit marked a significant diplomatic engagement between the leaders of the two global economic powers, with the leaders meeting amidst ongoing trade tensions.
