Xi Warns Trump Over Taiwan Risk at Beijing Summit

Chinese President Xi Jinping cautioned US President Donald Trump that mismanagement of the Taiwan issue could jeopardize bilateral relations. The pointed remarks came during their summit in Beijing on Thursday, tempering what had begun as a cordial meeting between the two leaders. It marked Trump's first visit to China in nearly a decade. Taiwan emerged as a central focus of the high-stakes talks, with Xi characterizing the self-governed island as the most critical issue in US-China relations. The summit, scheduled through Friday, comes as the Trump administration seeks to address trade disputes and regional conflicts. Both presidents signaled an intent to reset their relationship, though Xi's comments underscored the fragility of US-China ties on this core concern.
