The second meeting between U.S. President Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping this year came to an end. National security sources believed that the overall ceremony was "grand" but "progress has been rapid". Core issues such as tariff reduction, high-tech AI export controls, dumping of excess production capacity and bulk purchases from the United States are still in place. Although the United States seemed to be giving red carpet treatment, it launched a sophisticated "symbolic warfare". Not only did the tariffs and technological blockade "not loosen a word", but it also completely deconstructed the legitimacy of the CCP in spirit and system, completely defeating Beijing's strategic attempt to frame the United States and China as "equal".
National security sources pointed out that from the perspective of U.S.-China relations, when the two sides sat down to talk, it seemed that they had established some kind of "guardrail" to avoid the danger of immediate conflict, but in fact they smelled of "strategic suppression of systems and values." Beijing originally hoped to use the summit to complete the first "Trump-Xi meeting in May" but there was no The purpose of success is to set up a framework of "U.S.-China constructive strategic and stable relations" for U.S.-China relations and formally establish China as a major country that "confronts and sits on equal footing" with the United States. On the one hand, it also uses this to cover up its negative image of internal economic recession, excess production capacity, and authoritarian expansion.

National security sources said that what is surprising is Washington's sophisticated "symbolic warfare." On the one hand, the United States rolled out a long red carpet to give Xi Jinping the glory he needs most. On the other hand, from talking about U.S.-China cooperation in World War II in the first speech to quoting the "Three Founding Documents" to highlight that freedom and democracy are orthodox, the state banquet quoted "Spar "achieved the final victory", almost scornfully breaking the long-standing "Thucydides Trap" narrative, and once played the Chinese banned song "Les Misérables", implying that a regime without public support will be challenged by revolution, and repeating that cooperation in World War II is actually not a history that the Communist Party has experienced.
National security personnel believe that through the above-mentioned actions, the United States has deconstructed the legitimacy of Beijing's "rising in the east and falling in the west" and "the CCP represents China" at the spiritual and institutional value levels. As for economic and trade issues, Washington has shrewdly separated diplomatic courtesy from strategic interests, and has not loosened tariffs and AI controls at all. This proves that the U.S.'s "de-risking" of China as a national security strategy itself cannot be reversed by a few gorgeous state banquets.

In order to take good safety precautions during the Mid-Autumn Festival and National Day holidays, the Office of the State Council Security Committee, the National Disaster Prevention, Reduction and Relief Office, and the Ministry of Emergency Management deployed various regions to carry out unannounced inspections by grade and industry. Song Yuanming, Vice Minister of the Ministry of Emergency Management, conducted a video inspection on inspections in five provinces including Beijing, Liaoning, Shandong, Sichuan, and Shaanxi. Local organizations have organized efforts to go deep into key industries and places such as transportation, firefighting, and tourism to eliminate safety hazards in a timely manner. Beijing inspected more than 4,070 companies, Liaoning sent 5 provincial-level and 27 safety committees to lead unannounced inspection teams, Shandong achieved full coverage of provinces, cities and counties, Sichuan sent more than 4,960 people to inspect more than 14,200 points, and Shaanxi carried out full-coverage unannounced inspections in accident-prone areas.

Shen Boyang, the Taipei mayoral candidate of the Democratic Progressive Party, held his first campaign in Taichung on the 27th. He combined with He Xinchun, the Taichung mayoral candidate, attracted tens of thousands of participants. Along the way, the mayor of Taipei and Taichung, Shen Boyang, talked about the hot weather and pointed out the cooling effect of trees. He emphasized that he would discuss the improvement of green coverage in the two cities with He Xinchun. He also called for food balance by citing the chicken steak as too sweet but the Dongquan chili sauce as an example. The atmosphere was warm.

In response to President Lai Ching-te's statement that Taoyuan Mayor Zhang Shanzheng is "overqualified and unsuitable for the local environment," former Kuomintang Chairman Zhu Lilun responded at an event on the 27th that since President Lai has affirmed Zhang Shanzheng's ability in national affairs, he called on Taoyuan City to fully support Zhang Shanzheng regardless of party affiliation.

Liu Baijun pointed out in a Facebook post that Taipei mayoral candidate Shen Boyang only said to be polite after the dinner at Zhongzhuangzi Fudong Palace, but did not deal with the giant rat at the intersection and the cutting down of the old tree at the alley. He criticized him for showing up just before the election and not serving the people at ordinary times. The villagers saw it.

The second meeting between U.S. President Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping this year ended. National security analysts pointed out that China originally planned to use the "Three U.S.-China Communiqués" to pressure the U.S. to reduce arms sales to Taiwan. However, due to the U.S. layout and cold treatment, the Taiwan Strait issue did not become the focus of the meeting. The United States continues to stick to its strategic bottom line through the State Department and statements from many countries, reiterating that the one-China policy and security commitment to Taiwan remain unchanged. National security personnel assess that the United States and China have entered a new normal of "high-frequency communication but high-intensity competition." Beijing will be unable to obtain substantial dividends such as tariff reductions or the lifting of high-tech bans, and will turn to internal and Taiwan propaganda to promote the fictional narratives of "rising in the east and falling in the west" and "Taiwan's abandonment theory." Taiwan must maintain strategic focus, strengthen the irreplaceability of silicon shields and key supply chains, deepen multilateral value alliances and asymmetric defense capabilities, and maintain a stable cross-strait stance of no provocation, no aggression, and no surrender, in order to ensure national security and international trust.

Taipei mayoral candidate Shen Boyang went to Yuanbao Palace in Taichung today to pray for votes and support Tsai Chi-chang's recommendation of "Fight!" New Top Connection" Taichung City Council candidates Chien Jiayou, Chen Xinxiu, Chen Yingchen, and Zhan Zhixiang explained that "Ocean Current" is a warm and want to change the mood of the city, and will visit various industries with He Xinchun to bring a new atmosphere.
