Taiwan has emerged as a key point of discussion in the evolving relationship between China and the United States. Following President Trump's state visit to China, statements from both sides suggest a new understanding regarding Taiwan's status.
Taiwan has emerged as the first test of Beijing and Washington’s new “strategic stability” formula, according to analysts.
Chinese foreign minister Wang Yi said on Friday that during Trump’s state visit to China from Wednesday to Friday, the Chinese side “feels during the meetings” that “the US side understands China’s position, values China’s concerns, and, like the international community, does not recognise or accept Taiwan independence”.
The statement came after Trump had left China.
Speaking to reporters aboard Air Force One on Friday, Trump said he and Xi “talked a lot about Taiwan” during their formal and informal exchanges on Thursday and Friday.
“I think we’ll be fine,” Trump said. “He doesn’t want to see a war.”
