Thom Tillis questioned President Trump&#8217;s judgment in hosting Chinese President Xi Jinping for a <span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/live-updates\/trump-china-xi-jinping-state-visit-dinner-tariffs-ai\/\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">state dinner<\/a><\/span> at the White House this week, saying he&#8217;s &#8220;worried about the trend of spending more time with despots and less time with democratic leaders of nations.&#8221;\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s a WTF moment,&#8221; the retiring North Carolina senator said in an interview with &#8220;CBS Evening News&#8221; anchor Tony Dokoupil on Thursday about Mr. Trump&#8217;s red-carpet rollout for Xi compared to the reception that some U.S. allies like <span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/ukraine-rare-earth-minerals-trump-zelenskyy\/\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy<\/a><\/span> have received.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s not that Xi Jinping is coming here to learn how to become a democratic, capitalist nation. Xi Jinping is trying to understand how his opposition will ultimately embrace their worldview,&#8221; he said.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Tillis called the visit &#8220;bad timing,&#8221; listing off China&#8217;s human rights abuses against the Uyghurs, espionage capabilities, <span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/live-updates\/trump-primetime-speech-elections-china\/\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">alleged access to U.S. voter data<\/a><\/span> and reports that Iran has used information from China to target U.S. military assets in the region. Tillis also questioned why the administration has held up an <a href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/taiwan-military-drills-us-arms-sales-a6763308f8d63f3e569145e00595e9f2\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">arms shipment to Taiwan<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;If we want to build a relationship, a productive relationship with Xi Jinping and China, we also have to hold him accountable for things that are just simply unacceptable,&#8221; Tillis said.<\/p>\n<p>Shortly after returning to office last year, Mr. Trump imposed heavy tariffs on Chinese goods, leading to a trade war that briefly caused both countries to hike duties on each other&#8217;s goods to more than 100%. The U.S. and China struck a tariff truce later in 2025, and since then, Mr. Trump has emphasized that he hopes to have a more productive relationship with China. During a White House arrival ceremony earlier Thursday, he <span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/live-updates\/trump-china-xi-jinping-state-visit-dinner-tariffs-ai\/\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">said<\/a><\/span> he and Xi had forged a &#8220;truly great friendship.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Tillis pointed to Mr. Trump&#8217;s campaign promise of vowing to go hard on China, and questioned whether there was &#8220;confidential&#8221; information that could explain the switch-up.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The reality is, he was tough on China,&#8221; he said, later adding, &#8220;I just don&#8217;t know what has changed. Whatever has changed had to have been at a confidential level, because I haven&#8217;t seen any public basis for the sea change that we see right now in our posture towards China.&#8221;\u00a0<\/p>\n<section class=\"content__body--footer\">\n<\/section>\n<p>  <!-- data-recirc-source=\"queryly\" --><\/p>\n<aside class=\"component list recirculation component--type-recirculation  \">\n        <\/aside>\n<section class=\"content__body--footer\">\n      <!-- tags --><br \/>\n    <\/section>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-6606220950177433\"\r\n     crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script>\r\n<!-- ItShrt World News -->\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:block\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-6606220950177433\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"1882483372\"\r\n     data-ad-format=\"auto\"\r\n     data-full-width-responsive=\"true\"><\/ins>\r\n<script>\r\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n<\/script>\r\n<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/tillis-trump-xi-china-state-dinner-visit-wtf-moment\/\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Washington \u2014 Republican Sen.
