Chinese officials made unusual requests to accommodate Xi Jinping's need for rest during his summit with Trump in September, cutting back significantly on meeting time.

Beijing requested a private room in the West Wing where Xi could rest between events, canceled a planned working lunch with Trump and asked for more downtime.

The changes created a gap of about five hours in the summit schedule. Shay also had no scheduled activities on his first evening and only spent about ten minutes at the National Archives on the last day.
