When Chinese President Xi Jinping comes to Washington to meet with President Donald J. Trump next week, the agenda will be crowded.

The two men will talk trade, artificial intelligence, investment and international competition — and ultimately the future of the world’s most important bilateral relationship.

men → talk → relationship
Reports indicate Xi is preparing to bring a substantial delegation of Chinese business executives with him — a sign of China’s interest in strengthening ties with America.
asserted
Xi → indicate → America
No doubt, Xi wants President Trump to reduce tariffs on Chinese goods and ease other trade restrictions that are throttling China’s economy.
asserted
that → want → economy
But if Xi wants to amplify this signal and show that he’s genuinely interested in playing fair with the West, he should bring another man: Jimmy Lai.
asserted
he → want → man
In December 2025, a Hong Kong court convicted him of national security and sedition offenses (which were based on a ludicrous, draconian Chinese security law).

which → convict → law
On Feb. 9, he was sentenced to 20 years in prison.
asserted
he → sentence → prison
Lai’s detention was clearly an example of the Chinese Communist Party seeking to silence public dissent in Hong Kong.

Party → seek → Kong
It was nearly universally rejected by the Western world.
asserted
It → reject → world
If President Xi wants to make a strong impression — and clearly communicate that he is serious about seeking a better relationship with President Trump and the U.S. — he should bring Lai with him to Washington and release him to the care of his family.
President Trump has been calling for Lai’s release since he campaigned in 2024.
asserted
he → want → 2024
He reportedly brought it up again with Xi when they met in May, telling reporters prior to the meeting that "[Lai] tried to do the right thing.
uncertain
Lai → bring → thing
Went to jail, and people would like him out.

And I'd like to see him get out, too.

him → like → ?
So, I'll bring him up again.
asserted
I → bring → him
I have brought him up."
asserted
I → bring → him
In addition to President Trump’s disapproval of Lai’s incarceration, the United Nations Working Group on Arbitrary Detention called for his immediate release.
asserted
Group → call → release
Other governments, including the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia and other G7 countries, have also called for Lai’s release.
asserted
governments → include → release
He has spent more than five years in prolonged solitary confinement amid, at times, incredibly hot summer conditions.
asserted
He → spend → conditions
This time does not count toward his two-decade sentence.
asserted
time → count → sentence
He reportedly has a litany of health problems that require close monitoring, including diabetes, high blood pressure, heart issues and crippling fatigue.
uncertain
that → have → diabetes
All the while, Lai has been denied independent specialist medical treatment.
asserted
Lai → deny → treatment
While Hong Kong authorities claim his prosecution was a matter of national security, it is clear Lai is merely being punished for participating in journalism and peaceful political activity that criticized the Chinese government.
uncertain
that → claim → government
If President Xi wants to make a strong impression — and clearly communicate that he is serious about seeking a better relationship with President Trump and the U.S. — he should bring Lai with him to Washington and release him to the care of his family.
Releasing Lai would not automatically settle disagreements over tariffs, Taiwan’s independence, rare earth minerals, technology trade, industrial policy, human rights or a host of other complex issues, but it would be a strong signal of good faith.
asserted
it → want → faith
Releasing and exonerating Lai could be a strong step toward resetting what has been a difficult international relationship between the U.S. and China.
uncertain
what → release → U.S.
It would certainly begin Xi’s discussions with President Trump on a good note.
asserted
It → begin → note
