It is rumored that the United States originally arranged for Xi Jinping to see the San Francisco Peace Treaty and other documents, which caused dissatisfaction in China and temporarily shortened the trip.

It was reported in the Washington media circle that the United States originally arranged for Xi Jinping to visit historical documents such as the Declaration of Independence and the Treaty of San Francisco, but the trip was temporarily shortened because it touched on the sensitive issue of Taiwan's status and caused dissatisfaction with China.

Quick Look

  • It is rumored that the United States originally arranged for Xi Jinping to inspect historical documents such as the Declaration of Independence and the Treaty of San Francisco when he visited the National Archives, which aroused strong dissatisfaction from China and temporarily shortened the trip.
  • Trump later posted on social media that the United States will never become a communist country.

AI-generated summary

Why It Matters

Article 2 of the San Francisco Peace Treaty stipulates that Japan gives up its rights to Taiwan and the Penghu, but does not clearly specify the ownership of sovereignty, which is the basis for "the status of Taiwan is undecided."

Font size

According to news from the Washington media circle, the U.S. originally arranged for Xi Jinping to go to the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) to read the U.S. Declaration of Independence, the U.S. Constitution, and the Bill of Rights, which promote democracy and freedom. It also arranged to see the Treaty of Wangxia and the Treaty of Tianjin among the unequal treaties, and finally detoured to see the Peace of San Francisco, which China was not a party to.

As we all know, Article 2 of the "San Francisco Peace Treaty" only stipulates that "Japan renounces all rights over Taiwan and the Penghu" and does not clearly specify which country Taiwan's sovereignty belongs to. This has become the core basis for the "undecided status of Taiwan" in future international legal circles and political discussions, and China has never recognized it.

These particularly meaningful diplomatic arrangements are believed to have aroused strong dissatisfaction with Xi Jinping's delegation during the process, so that Xi Jinping only accompanied Trump to read the first item of the "Declaration of Independence" as if it were a story, and then all was temporarily blocked. In the end, Trump and Xi only spent about 10 minutes in the National Archives, far less than originally scheduled.

According to media circles in Washington, the United States has never considered the documents such as the three communiques that China wanted to see.

News Nation White House reporter Kellie Meyer also broke the news on her X social platform that several documents that were originally intended for display, including the Treaty of Tianjin and the Peace of San Francisco, were temporarily removed before Xi Jinping arrived. In the post, the reporter specifically mentioned that the "San Francisco Peace Treaty" is an international treaty that determines the basis for "the undecided status of Taiwan."

Not long after Xi Jinping got on the plane after finishing his trip to the Archives, Trump immediately posted a post on his "Truth Social" and the White House X platform that aroused high associations with the outside world. "The United States will never become a communist country," and he said, "We will defeat the Communist Party."

Open Questions

  • ?Has the US Archives Bureau indeed made a formal decision to withdraw documents?
  • ?Has China lodged a formal protest through diplomatic channels?

Taiwan was not mentioned in the second meeting between Sichuan and Xi

The second meeting between Trump and Xi came to an end, and the White House fact list did not mention Taiwan. Democratic Progressive Party legislator Wang Dingyu said that the talks were "big thunder but little rain" as commented by foreign media. The focus should be on the details of Sino-US economic and trade tariff negotiations announced by the United States on September 28, which would have little impact on Taiwan.
