Xi Jinping Warns Trump That Mishandling Taiwan Issue Risks Conflict Between the Two Countries

At the Beijing summit, Xi Jinping called Taiwan the most important issue in US-China relations, warning that mishandling it could put the two countries on a path toward conflict.

At a China-US summit held in Beijing, Xi Jinping designated Taiwan as the most central issue in relations between the two countries. He stated that if the Taiwan issue is handled well, the bilateral relationship can be stabilized; if handled badly, the two nations will face conflict risks. This summit marks Trump's first visit to China since returning to the White House. In the trade field, negotiation teams from both sides reportedly achieved overall positive results. US Secretary of State Rubio subsequently stated that there has been no change in US policy toward Taiwan. The two countries also reached consensus on keeping the Strait of Hormuz open and agreed not to allow Iran to develop nuclear weapons.
