Trump-Xi Summit Launch: US President Donald Trump landed in Beijing for his first China visit in nearly nine years, greeted with a rare red-carpet reception and a lineup of tech heavyweights including Elon Musk and Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang, as the agenda centers on trade, AI, Iran, and Taiwan. Taiwan on Edge: Taipei is watching closely after Trump said he will raise US arms sales to Taiwan with Xi—something Beijing has long demanded Washington stop—while US lawmakers push for Taiwan’s roughly $14B package to move forward before any summit bargaining. China’s Pressure Campaign: Ahead of the talks, China renewed warnings over Taiwan and framed the island as a “priority,” while Taiwan also reported fresh Chinese military activity near its air defense zone. US Domestic Security Mood: The visit comes as US lawmakers call for a crackdown on China-linked purchases of US farmland, and a former FBI agent warned espionage is “more pervasive” than Americans think. Regional Context: Markets are jittery as Iran tensions and uncertainty around the summit feed into global risk sentiment.
