Xi Jinping will visit Trump in Washington at the end of September 2026 with a state visit, and there will be two more Trump-Xi meetings this year (APEC and G20).

Xi made a state visit to Washington on Sept 23-25, 2026; Wang Yi had already said in May that an autumn state visit would follow. Afterwards Xi said he expects to meet Trump twice more in 2026 (APEC Shenzhen in Nov, G20 Florida in Dec). Those two meetings are still pending.

US-China relations will turn around with a compromise after Xi's September 24 visit.

Xi's Sept 23-25, 2026 state visit to Washington was warm, with a planeside welcome and state dinner, and both sides planned two more meetings in 2026. But AP reported no major breakthroughs on trade or AI, and he himself said on Sept 25 that his grand bargain prediction looked wrong.

China will use North Korea as leverage: North Korea will threaten South Korea with artillery and launch missiles toward the Sea of Japan, forcing Japan to negotiate with China.

Since July 2026 North Korea has fired missiles toward the Sea of Japan (Aug 6, Aug 12, Oct 12) and had border friction with South Korea over a landmine blast. There is no evidence of the predicted mechanism: China using North Korea as leverage to force Japan to negotiate.

Xi's visit to North Korea is meant to push North Korea to be aggressive so China can act as peacemaker toward Japan; North Korea will create maximum chaos.

Xi's state visit to Pyongyang (June 8-9, 2026) was already underway when stated. North Korea has since fired ballistic missiles toward the Sea of Japan (Aug 6, Aug 12, Oct 12, 2026) amid border landmine friction. That is routine-level testing, not 'maximum chaos', and the claimed Chinese motive is unverifiable.

Within a few months Trump will declare that the US opposes Taiwan independence and supports unification of China and Taiwan.

On May 15, 2026, right after the summit, Trump warned Taiwan against declaring independence ('not looking to have somebody go independent'). But he said US policy was unchanged and he had made 'no commitment either way'. He did not formally declare US opposition to independence or support for unification.

How calls are found and checked

Each transcript was read in full by an AI model to pull out predictions, with the exact quote and timestamp. Each one was then checked with web search against events up to the update date, with sources linked.

How the hit rate works

Spot a mistake? Report it. Hit rate = (came true + ½ partly) ÷ resolved calls. Claims that were already underway when he made them are left out. Open calls haven't reached a verdict; Unresolvable ones are too vague ever to check. Verdicts are AI-assisted and may contain errors.
