Chinese President Xi Jinping will visit Washington from September 23 to 25 to meet with U.S. President Trump. The two sides are expected to extend the trade war truce agreement, but it is difficult to reach substantial progress on core differences such as rare earths, AI regulation, Taiwan arms sales, and the Iran issue. Sino-U.S. relations are in a state of management deadlock rather than reconciliation.

The Democratic Progressive Party has made "privilege" and "bullying" core issues in the local elections at the end of the year. It has named Li Sichuan in New Taipei, Zhang Jiajun in Yunlin, Wu Xiuhua in Taitung, and You Shuzhen, who are supported by the Fu Kunqi family in Hualien. It questions their family's long-term control of political and economic resources, political and business relations and privilege disputes, and plans to push the message into rural and tribal areas through propaganda and organizational warfare.

U.S. President Trump will host a state dinner for Chinese President Xi Jinping at the White House on the 24th. Pfizer CEO Borla, Meta CEO Zuckerberg and other U.S. business and technology leaders are confirmed to attend. U.S.-China relations are under pressure due to trade, Taiwan and Iran issues. The leaders will meet for the second time this year to maintain the stability of bilateral relations.

The race for mayor of Taipei is heating up. The latest poll from the Trustees Association and polling expert Dai Li'an shows that the difference in support between Democratic Progressive Party candidate Shen Boyang and Kuomintang mayor Jiang Wanan who is seeking re-election is only 1.2%, which is within the range of sampling error. Media person Wu Jingyi analyzed that Jiang Wanan originally had the advantage of being the incumbent, but due to the "three arrows" political maneuvers instigated by Yin Wei, his support plummeted from the lead to only a slight advantage. She criticized Jiang Wanan for excessively maintaining a falsely perfect image and refusing to admit his mistakes, and pointed out that his policy satisfaction dropped from nearly 70% to just over 50%, and his support among the youth was also surpassed by Shen Boyang. Wu Jingyi emphasized that the final direction of the election will depend on polls from different institutions and changes in the voter structure, rather than a single poll number.

Yin Wei, chairman of the Taipei City Government Research and Examination Committee, clarified that the internal polls of Chiang Wanan's camp showed that there is still a double-digit support gap between Chiang and Democratic Progressive Party candidate Shen Boyang. He questioned the deviation of the poll results of the People's Association and denied the rumors that he would retreat to the second line.
