Ukrainian President Zelensky warned at the United Nations General Assembly that if Russia and Ukraine fail to reach a ceasefire and stop attacking energy facilities before the onset of winter, Ukraine will launch a counterattack, making Russia miserable in the coming winter. He also called for greater diplomatic action and noted that Chinese President Xi Jinping may have influence over Russian President Vladimir Putin.

Paraguay President Peña Peña delivered a speech at the United Nations General Assembly on the 23rd, making it clear that Paraguay would not remain neutral on the Taiwan issue and would support Taiwan's participation in the United Nations and its professional agencies. He warned that potential conflicts in the Taiwan Strait would affect the global chip supply and economy, and emphasized that support for Taiwan stems from shared values of democracy, rule of law, human rights and peace.

Chinese President Xi Jinping is expected to visit Washington from September 23 to 25 to meet with U.S. President Trump. The two sides are expected to extend the one-year trade war truce agreement reached last year, but it may be difficult to see substantial results on major differences such as rare earths, AI regulation, technology exports, Taiwan arms sales and Iran issues. Experts believe that this meeting is more about managing a deadlock than seeking peace. The two sides have their own plans: Trump seeks orders for rare earths, agricultural products, and results to show off. White House officials hope to retain space for pressure on China on advanced technology, supply chains, and Taiwan issues. Xi Jinping hopes for tariff exemptions, technology access, and reduction of U.S. support for Taiwan, while buying time to reduce dependence on the United States. In the field of AI, leaders from both sides will meet with U.S. technology industry bosses, but regulatory consensus is difficult to reach due to mutual suspicion and competitive mentality, although both sides acknowledge the importance of discussing AI safety. In addition, it is difficult to break through the Iran-Taiwan issue. Beijing insists on opposing US arms sales to Taiwan and maintains cooperation through its influence on Iran, while Washington is worried that Beijing will use leverage to put pressure on Tehran. Overall, the summit may only maintain the status quo without any major breakthroughs.
