- Trump could have agreed with Xi’s remarks that Taiwan determines regional stability and U.S.-China relations.
- Taiwan and the U.S. have not made threatening statements or military moves against China, and Beijing may view Trump’s silence on Taiwan.
Why it matters: Trump gains a rhetorical edge to challenge Xi’s Taiwan narrative, while Beijing loses leverage if its silence is seen as tacit approval, potentially shifting diplomatic calculations in the region.
