During the closed-door meeting between Trump and Xi Jinping at the White House on September 24, while everyone was concerned about the Taiwan issue, another important focus that Xi Jinping was more concerned about was his anger towards Japanese Prime Minister Takaichi Sanae. Xi Jinping once again used "new militarism" to describe Gaoshi's thinking and the direction of Japan's policies. This topic occupies much more time than the Taiwan issue.
The "evidence" that Xi Jinping gave to Trump to scold the Prime Minister is understood to include Japan's substantial expansion of its military budget; its announcement that long-range missiles can be used to attack military targets in the opponent's territory under legal conditions such as military attack; its openness to the sale of offensive weapons to foreign countries; its abandonment of Japan's responsibility for the war of aggression against China, etc., and he has been harping on it for a long time.

After listening to Xi Jinping's complaint, Trump's response was still to affirm Gao Shi's character, and said, "I believe in her leadership," and ended Xi's accusations with all his strength.
This is not the first time that Xi Jinping has expressed concerns about Gao Shi to Trump. When Xi Jinping held a summit with Trump in Beijing on May 15 this year, he seriously talked to Trump about Gao Shi's policy adjustments to promote Japan's strengthening of its defense capabilities, and regarded it as Japan's "remilitarization." Trump's answer at that time was "I like her very much." Only a few months later, Xi Jinping once again made high-intensity and high-frequency accusations, which clearly shows where Xi Jinping's current "strategic anxiety" lies.
China’s intentions are clear. The question becomes, how will Trump deal with it? Trump and Gao Shi had previously met in New York through the United Nations General Assembly. Immediately after the "Second Trump-Xi meeting", Trump had another phone call with Gao Shi at 9 pm on the 26th. They talked for more than 20 minutes. According to NHK reports, Trump explained the content of the US-China summit. The two exchanged views on China-related issues, including economic security, and confirmed that Japan and the United States will continue to coordinate.
Therefore, it is conceivable that Gao Shi quickly learned of Xi Jinping's remarks about scolding Gao Shi.
At the "Second Sichuan-Xi Conference", the Japanese issue took priority over the Taiwan issue. This shows that Xi Jinping has been emphasizing the mentality of restoring "post-war order" and is closely connected with each other. What Xi Jinping thinks is: the anti-fascist camp formed by the United States, China, and Russia should not be destroyed and should continue. His wishful thinking is not to mention that the United States has long defined that period of history as an "expediency alliance." In fact, under Trump's second administration, a new international order is being constructed, which is the resurgence of capitalism and the need to jointly deal with communism. This is the most profound essence of the current "U.S.-Japan alliance."
From this point of view, the answer is self-evident as to why Trump posted on both the social platform and the White House account that he wanted to defeat "communism, socialism and Marxism" as soon as Xi Jinping got on the plane and before anyone landed in Beijing.
