Last update: 5 hours agoUS-China Summit Opens in Beijing: Xi Jinping warned Donald Trump that mishandling Taiwan could push the two countries into “clashes or even conflict,” calling the Taiwan question the “most important issue” in their relationship. Trump, by contrast, set a warmer tone—praising Xi as “a great leader” and saying the future is “fantastic”—as the leaders began talks on trade, technology, and the Iran war. Taiwan Response: Taipei said it values long-term US support and stressed it is working closely with Washington on managing risks, while Beijing’s military pressure remains the core threat. Diplomatic Tone-Shift: Xi also framed the relationship as “cooperation with measured competition,” urging “partners, not rivals,” even as he issued a clear red line on Taiwan. What’s Next for Taipei: With a reported US $14B Taiwan arms package in limbo and no Taiwan details confirmed by Trump, Taiwan is watching for any “off-script” shift as the summit continues.
