Share:
Chinese President Xi Jinping warned US President Donald Trump during meetings in Beijing that China and the United States could face conflict over Taiwan. The warning came as part of high-level diplomatic discussions between the two leaders. Despite the tensions over Taiwan, Trump expressed optimism about future US-China relations, stating that together the two countries would have a "fantastic future." Taiwan remains one of the most sensitive issues in US-China relations, with Beijing viewing the island as a breakaway province that must eventually be reunified with mainland China, while Washington maintains unofficial ties with Taipei and has indicated support for the island's defense.
