## Resource

Three days remain until President Donald Trump will meet Chinese leader Xi Jinping. What are the biggest flashpoints? Trump has already confirmed that U.S. arms sales to Taiwan will be on the agenda. Two Americans have been imprisoned in China for more than a decade. Now, their families are asking Trump for help. Tim Hunt, brother of an American detained in China, said, “My dad passed away in January, and I promised him that I was going to bring her home. I want to keep that promise so he can rest in peace. I am going to keep that promise.” A Chinese dissident who says he suffered from Beijing’s transnational repression testified in the Chinese Communist Party New York police station trial. We spoke with the witness shortly after his testimony. Ahead of the May 13 World Falun Dafa Day, two Canadian cities have raised the “Falun Dafa Day” flag. This comes after a Canadian mayor received a warning from the Chinese consulate not to support Falun Gong. He turned the threat over to the police and raised the flag anyway. 00:00 Intro 01:34 What’s at Stake in the Upcoming Trump-Xi Meeting? 02:32 Trump Overestimates China’s Global Influence: Expert 03:09 Xi Jinping Frustrated With U.S. Over Taiwan 03:29 China May Boost U.S. Imports in Talks 03:56 U.S., China May Open AI Communication Channel 04:10 China Rejects Talks on Nuclear Arms Control 04:25 U.S., China Hold Summit Prep Talks in South Korea 04:39 Trump: I Will Discuss Taiwan Arms Sales With Xi 05:11 Taiwan Hopes No Surp rises Come From Trump-Xi Summit 05:37 U.S. ‘Disappointed’ in Taiwan’s Defense Budget 06:04 China Excludes Taiwan From WHO Annual Assembly 06:31 Vatican Official Makes Rare Trip to Taiwan 07:05 Families of Americans Jailed in China Seek Trump’s Help 10:37 Daughter of China-Detained Pastor Feels Hopeful 12:30…
