The Emperor's New Wardrobe: Fashioning Diplomacy in Beijing The arrival of Donald Trump in China, accompanied by a group of tech titans and top aides, marks a significant shift in the country's diplomatic fashion sense.

The elaborate welcome ceremony at Beijing Capital International Airport featured Chinese Vice President Han Zheng greeting Trump alongside Jensen Huang, CEO of Nvidia, Elon Musk, and Tim Cook of Apple.
