Xi Jinping says "collide or even enter into conflict" over Taiwan arms sales

Chinese President Xi Jinping met with U.S. President Donald Trump to discuss trade, technology, and Taiwan, with China aiming to prevent U.S. interference in its rise as a global power. While a trade truce was extended, key disputes remain unresolved, and Xi's domestic economic challenges underscore the importance of international trade. Xi reiterated China's stance on Taiwan, warning of potential conflict if the U.S. continues arms sales to the island, a move Trump has used as a negotiation tactic. The leaders also touched on artificial intelligence, with Xi emphasizing human control, while Trump has downplayed extinction fears. The summit also saw the resumption of panda diplomacy, with China gifting pandas to Atlanta.
