Trump’s First Asia-Pacific Tour: The View From Taiwan

When Trump was departing Beijing, China’s Xinhua News reported
Xi had told his American counterpart that “the Taiwan issue is the most
important and most sensitive issue at the core of Sino-U.S. ties, which
concerns the political foundation of bilateral relations.” Xi “urged
the United States to continue to abide by the one-China principle to
prevent disturbance to the overall situation of Sino-U.S. ties,” Xinhua said. The U.S. government has yet to verify or mention such an interaction so far. According to the Washington Free Beacon, however, Trump denied China’s request to terminate arm sales to Taiwan.
