Earlier this week,
China's President Xi Jinping embarked on a tour of a few of his country's closest neighbors.
Xi Jinping has launched a flurry of diplomacy.
And his purpose is to canvass support from China's trading partners and to portray China as a victim of Donald Trump's tariffs.
That's the FT's Beijing bureau chief, Zhou Lei.
He says that on Xi Jinping's travel agenda are visits to Cambodia, Malaysia and Vietnam.
He wrote in the Vietnamese media that in trade wars and tariff wars, there are no winners.
and that protectionism will lead nowhere.
And he also said that all countries should safeguard the multilateral trading system.
So he's really portraying China as a champion of globalization.
The reason Xi is checking in with these countries is
because he's trying to protect an economic model that China's built over decades.
I would say China is comfortably the world's trading superpower.
