Trump landed Wednesday in China for meetings with President Xi Jinping

School children waving American flags greeted him at the airport in Beijing

President and first lady took in an extra special performance of Peking opera during a grand tour of the Forbidden City put on for him by Xi

 President has touted his close relationship with Xi, calling it 'outstanding'

But he says that won't stop him from getting tough with China over trade 

North Korea is expected to dominate the agenda as it did when pair met in April 

Last year when he visited China, Obama was prevented from using his stairs to deplane Air Force One in a major snub

Trump didn't have that problem: Chinese authorities had a rolling staircase tall enough to reach the front door of the plane
