U.S. President Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping met at the White House, but the two sides failed to reach a major breakthrough. Former legislator Hsu Yu-jen analyzed that Xi Jinping linked the "great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation" to the reunification of Taiwan, and pointed out that the US arms sales to Taiwan continue to be put on hold, and Taiwan should pay attention to the timing of unfreezing arms sales, rather than just the atmosphere of the summit.

In an exclusive interview with China News Service, American friend Ronald Sakolsky (Sykos) expressed his disbelief at being mentioned by Chinese President Xi Jinping in his speech at the White House state banquet. He also expressed his hope that the United States and China will become friends and deepen youth exchanges.

Chinese President Xi Jinping announced in Washington that 100,000 American teenagers will be invited to China for exchange and study in the next five years. This move aims to follow the "50,000 in 5 Years" initiative to further deepen people-to-people and cultural exchanges between young people from China and the United States, enhance mutual understanding, and inject youthful vitality into the future of Sino-US relations.

On the afternoon of September 23, local time, President Xi Jinping arrived at Andrews Air Force Base in Washington and began his state visit to the United States. U.S. President Trump and his wife Melania warmly welcomed him. This was the second face-to-face meeting between the heads of state of China and the United States.
