US-China Relations

No U.S. president has held a direct call with a Taiwanese leader since Washington switched diplomatic recognition to Beijing in 1979.

‘America’s local communities should never be left vulnerable to foreign influence operations masquerading as cultural exchange,’ Rep. Chip Roy said.

The former secretary of state urged skepticism after the Beijing summit, saying Taiwan is central to U.S. security and the American AI economy.

U.S. policy on arming Taiwan remains unchanged despite the U.S. president linking a $14 billion weapons package to talks with Beijing.

The White House said China agreed to purchase at least $17 billion per year in U.S. agricultural products through 2028.

The defendant was indicted last year alongside three other Chinese nationals and two U.S. citizens.

Taiwan’s Lai Ching‑te thanked the United States for reaffirming that long-standing U.S. security support for Taiwan remains ‘unchanged.’

It comes after a summit between U.S. President Donald Trump and Chinese leader Xi Jinping in Beijing last week.

China will purchase at least $17 billion per year of U.S. agricultural products over the next three years.

‘Wang is far from the only asset to have embedded herself in U.S. institutions,’ one analyst said.

Having walked out of Chinese communist indoctrination, a scholar and historian hopes to offer America an antidote.

Beijing deployed thousands of police and security officers during the U.S. president’s visit, sealing roads and tightening surveillance.

The two leaders also discussed artificial intelligence and possible cooperation on AI safety rules.

China also wants the United States to recognize the coastal Chinese province of Shandong as a ‘bird flu-free zone.’

The U.S. president said he must speak with Taiwan’s leader before deciding whether to proceed with the record arms sales package for Taipei.

For Japan, Taiwan is closely tied to its own security debate and to the U.S. military posture in the western Pacific.

Chinese rights activists welcome the U.S. president’s visit, hoping he will help improve China’s human rights conditions.

Trump also confirmed that he raised the case of Jimmy Lai, a pro-democracy publisher imprisoned in Hong Kong, during his China visit.

Trump welcomed China’s new purchase commitments but noted there has been no breakthrough on the release of Jimmy Lai.

A high-level meeting between the U.S. and Chinese leaders produced different messaging and competing priorities.
