美中關係近年來在貿易、科技、台海及地緣政治領域持續緊張,雙方領袖會談被視為管控競爭、避免衝突升級的重要管道。
美國總統川普與中國國家主席習近平今天在白宮會談,美國主流媒體觀察,川普親自接機,並安排軍禮、國宴等高規格禮遇;美中雖將貿易休兵延長2個月,但會談的實質進展有限,未見重大突破。
「紐約時報」以「川普在白宮迎接習近平,盛大排場可能掩蓋緊張關係」為標題,報導指出,川普在公開場合著重強調兩人的友誼,習近平則較著重地緣政治與兩國競爭,表示美中利益「深度交織」,並再度提出避免「修昔底德陷阱」。

紐時指出,美方安排數百名美軍參與歡迎儀式、B-2匿蹤轟炸機飛越及國宴等盛大排場,但美中之間的貿易、科技與地緣政治緊張並未因此消失。
美聯社則以「川普為習近平鋪陳盛大排場,卻少談美中關係重大緊張」為題指出,美中正處於經濟與科技主導地位的世代競爭,雙方似乎寄望領袖間的私人關係及共同利益,避免競爭升高為公開衝突。
報導指出,川普強調與習近平建立「真正深厚的友誼」,習近平則表示,美中競爭應是「健康的」,並且「應保持在一定界線內」。
美聯社指出,習近平在閉門會談中向川普提出台灣議題,要求美方「審慎處理台灣問題」。不過白宮在會談結束後未立即公布完整會談紀要,川普也尚未說明雙方在台灣、人工智慧(AI)及其他重大議題上談出哪些具體成果。
路透社會後以「川習華府峰會4大觀察重點」為題指出,美中雖將貿易休兵延長2個月,但未形成長期協議,關稅、中國採購、稀土供應及科技限制等核心問題仍留待下一輪談判。
報導另指出,習近平希望美方「反對台灣獨立」,較華府長期使用的「不支持台灣獨立」措辭更為強硬,目前沒有跡象顯示川普政府準備改變既有表述。
路透社也注意到,習近平在會談中再提「修昔底德陷阱」,也就是崛起強權與既有強權競爭時,可能走向戰爭的理論。習近平雖表示這項風險「可以克服」,但報導認為,這番話凸顯美中潛在軍事衝突的疑慮仍籠罩雙邊關係。習近平並呼籲加強軍事對話及危機預防機制。
「華盛頓郵報」則從川普對中策略變化切入,指出白宮近來從較強硬的對抗路線,轉向更重視與習近平維持頻繁互動。報導也注意到,中國掌握稀土供應鏈等籌碼,使美方在處理貿易與科技爭議時,更重視避免雙邊關係再度升高。

The New Taipei City mayoral election is fierce. KMT candidate Li Sichuan questioned President Lai Ching-te's policy of issuing NT$10,000 and suggested that priority should be given to the NT$5.41 billion in New Taipei City MRT funding that had been cut. DPP candidate Su Qiaohui responded that the Ministry of Transportation has made it clear that rail construction subsidies will not be reduced. The reason for the general distribution of 10,000 yuan is because the country’s economy is good and tax revenue is at a record high. On the premise that the country’s finances are affordable and there is no debt, she represents the party legislator to the president to fight for the AI dividend to be shared by all people.

Taipei Mayor Shen Boyang of the Democratic Progressive Party released a blind tasting video of braised pork rice, commenting on the taste of braised pork rice from Jin Feng, Hu Hu Zhang and other stores, emphasizing that political choices and dietary preferences should be separated, calling on respect for store owners to support freedom and avoid online attacks, and also shared his participation in Mid-Autumn Festival cake-fighting activities and his preference for mooncakes.

Pan Caixuan, spokesman for Li's Sichuan campaign office, responded to the false accusations made by Su Qiaohui camp member Weng Zhenzhou, pointing out that the poll cited by Li's campaign came from the Kuomintang's New Taipei City Council caucus internal poll and the details have been made public. On the contrary, Soviet figures Su Zhenchang and Zhang Honglu only published polls with a single number many times during the 2018 election without disclosing the source, confirming that Su Qiaohui's camp has double standards and is accustomed to leading the trend with false polls.

Hong Kong's "One Country, Two Systems" Institute and other institutions held a symposium at the Beijing Center of the University of Hong Kong. More than 20 scholars from China and Hong Kong proposed the so-called "12-point consensus", which included that all power in Taiwan comes from central authorization, patriots govern Taiwan, the People's Liberation Army stationed in Taiwan, disbanding Taiwan's armed forces, confiscating weapons, reorganizing political parties and electoral systems, reforming textbooks, and even proposing "paramilitary rule" for three to five years if reunification is completed by non-peaceful means. Liang Wenjie, deputy chairman of the Mainland Affairs Council, responded that the Taiwan government and people "will not accept any of it." The article pointed out that this plan lacks the participation and democratic authorization of the Taiwanese people. It is actually a presupposed design to restructure Taiwan's political order after reunification, and is incompatible with Taiwan's current democratic constitutional system.

Su Qiaohui, candidate for mayor of New Taipei City from the Democratic Progressive Party, confirmed that she was invited to participate in the "Mayor Candidates Youth Forum" held in October in Shuangbei. She said she immediately agreed and made time when she was informed of the event. She emphasized that she cherishes the opportunity to communicate with different generations and is willing to listen to the opinions of young people and jointly build New Taipei's future.

Chinese President Xi Jinping delivered a speech at the White House state banquet, reviewing the exchanges and cooperation between China and the United States in their 250-year history. He mentioned Washington’s collection of Chinese porcelain, the fight against the Japanese side by side in World War II, and Richard Nixon’s visit to China in 1972. He also called for continued cooperation in the future, emphasizing that China and the United States should be responsible major countries.
