## Resource

President Donald Trump and Chinese Communist Party leader Xi Jinping meet face-to-face in Beijing. But on Taiwan, the divide is unmistakable. Will the island nation become a bargaining chip in a deal between Washington and Beijing? How was Secretary of State Marco Rubio able to enter China after being sanctioned by Beijing and barred from entry? A workaround appears to have been made. Top U.S. business leaders joined Trump in China, including tech billionaire Elon Musk, Apple CEO Tim Cook, and Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang—who was added at the last minute. Here's what it means for U.S.–China ties. A clash occurred alongside the Trump–Xi summit: a standoff between Western media staff and Chinese security personnel. A Central Intelligence Agency whistleblower has stepped forward. He testified that intelligence agencies resisted conclusions about COVID-19 that were unfavorable to the Chinese regime. A man accused of acting as a Chinese foreign agent was found guilty on Wednesday. He was one of the individuals accused of setting up a Chinese-run police station in Manhattan. 00:00 intro 01:05 Trump Meets Xi, Sharp Divide Emerges on Taiwan Issue 01:58 Rubio: No Change on Taiwan Policy 03:41 Bessent: President to Say More on Taiwan ‘in Coming Days’ 04:33 Pres.
