中国国家主席习近平与夫人彭丽媛于美国当地时间9月23日抵达华盛顿，展开国事访问12。这是习近平时隔11年再度对美国进行国是访问2，也是两国元首今年第二次会面2。美国总统川普及第一夫人梅兰妮亚亲自到华盛顿特区近郊的安德鲁联合基地接机12。
一段12秒的视频随后引发舆论批评。视频显示数名美国军人俯身整理红毯，其中有军人单膝跪在红毯上1。中国外交部长王毅及外交部礼宾司司长洪磊等官员被看到站在机舱门口1。前美国海军陆战队战斗机飞行员、民主党政治人物麦格拉斯对此表示不满，指出美军官兵"没有宣誓在旨在满足独裁者虚荣心的盛大场面中充当道具"1，认为此举有损军人尊严。
上海复旦大学美国研究中心主任吴心伯认为，川普亲自接机主要出于两方面考虑：一是高度重视习近平访美，二是体现对习近平个人的重视2。川普与习近平预计当地时间24日上午举行会谈2。
Chinese President Xi Jinping and his wife Peng Liyuan arrived at Joint Base Andrews near Washington on September 23 for a state visit to the United States 12. President Trump and First Lady Melania personally greeted the Chinese delegation at the base, marking a significant diplomatic gesture 12. This represents Xi's first state visit to the United States in eleven years and the second meeting between the two leaders in 2026 2.
The arrival ceremony featured military elements including a military fly-over, a 100-foot red carpet, and the U.S. Air Force Band 3. According to historical records, this is the first time since 1962 that a sitting U.S. president has personally welcomed a foreign leader at the base 3. However, a twelve-second video showed American military personnel kneeling and bending to arrange the red carpet, which sparked criticism on American social media, with observers arguing it undermined military dignity 1. Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi and Foreign Ministry Protocol Director Hong Lei were visible at the aircraft door 1.
The unprecedented reception style drew criticism. Former U.S. Marine fighter pilot and Democratic politician McGlasss stated that American military personnel "have not sworn to serve as props in grand ceremonies designed to satisfy the vanity of dictators" 1. Chinese scholar Wu Xinbo from Fudan University's Center for American Studies attributed Trump's personal reception to two key considerations: his high regard for Xi's visit and his respect for Xi as an individual 2.
The three-day summit is expected to address artificial intelligence, trade, tariffs, the Iran conflict, and Taiwan 23. The U.S. Treasury Department announced an extension of the U.S.-China trade truce to January, extending the original October 11 deadline 3. Trump and Xi are scheduled to hold talks on the morning of September 24, with a state dinner to follow 3.
