This market will resolve to "Yes" if Donald Trump publicly praises Xi Jinping on October 30, 2025 (KST). Otherwise, this market will resolve to "No".

A qualifying statement includes any remark by Trump that expresses approval, admiration, respect, or endorsement of Xi personally or professionally. This can include direct praise (e.g., “Xi is smart,” “He’s a great leader”) or equivalent positive descriptions (“impressive,” “strong,” “brilliant,” “doing a great job”) made in reference to Xi.

Any statement that clearly expresses approval, admiration, or endorsement of Xi personally qualifies for this market regardless of context, (e.g. "Xi is very smart, but he doesn't seem to know that this war will kill more of his citizens." would qualify).

General neutrality or polite diplomatic language (e.g., “We had a good meeting”) will not qualify unless it contains a clear element of positive evaluation.

A direct reference will qualify even if Xi is not named, so long as it is reasonably clear from context that he is the subject.

Any written, verbal, or recorded usage will qualify.

The resolution source will be public statements from Donald Trump.
