If Trump said the Chinese president told him that, he’s covered.
“He then went into the history of China and Korea. Not North Korea, Korea. And you know, you’re talking about thousands of years . . . and many wars. And Korea actually used to be a part of China. And after listening for 10 minutes, I realized that it’s not so easy.”

“If Trump said the Chinese president told him that, he’s covered.”
Not really. If the Chinese President is telling you about history the rule of thumb is to believe the exact opposite.
Koreas was never part of China.
It most definitely was part of Japan, which Xi I am sure didn’t mention.
Neither historical facts mean anything except to Chinese fascists like Xi who still think China is the rightful ruler of all Asia and other states should have vassal status.
