"Trump told Fox News after his three-day Beijing summit that a $14 billion arms package for Taiwan is “a very good negotiating chip,” holding the deal “in abeyance” after discussing it with Xi Jinping “in great detail.” Xi warned that mishandling Taiwan could put the entire US-China relationship in “great jeopardy.”"
"Xi opened the summit with an explicit warning. If the Taiwan issue is not handled properly, the two countries will face “clashes and even conflicts,” putting the entire relationship in “great jeopardy,” he told Trump during their first session at the Great Hall of the People on Wednesday. Chinese officials described Taiwan as the “most important issue” in the bilateral relationship."
"The three-day state visit, which took place from 14 to 16 May, produced no binding agreements on the issues that divide the two countries most sharply: Taiwan, technology export controls, and the ongoing conflict in Iran. What it did produce was an abundance of ceremony, personal warmth between the two leaders, and a Chinese announcement of a new era of “constructive strategic stability,” a phrase the White House did not repeat but did not contest."
