Taiwan divisions amid plans for more Trump-Xi meetings
Nikkei Asia argues that both leaders want stable ties but have little room to compromise on Taiwan.
TLDR
Nikkei Asia argues that two more Trump-Xi meetings planned before the end of 2026 are unlikely to yield a sweeping deal. Citing people familiar with their September summit, it says Xi pressed Trump to oppose Taiwan independence and halt U.S. arms sales to the island, but Trump gave no explicit commitment. Both leaders seek stable ties, the commentary says, even as their positions on Taiwan remain apart.
