Taiwan reportedly became the most sensitive issue during recent talks between Donald Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping in Beijing. Chinese officials urged the United States to reduce military and political support for Taiwan, which Beijing considers part of its territory.
Trump avoided making strong public commitments toward Taiwanâs defense during the visit, raising concerns among U.S. allies and analysts. The issue overshadowed trade discussions and highlighted growing strategic rivalry between the worldâs two largest powers.
Experts warn that Taiwan remains the most dangerous geopolitical flashpoint in US-China relations due to its strategic location and dominance in global semiconductor production.
