Following the Trump-Xi meeting, Chinese and US readouts differed significantly regarding Taiwan. Chinese expert Bao Chengke analyzed that Xi Jinping's stern warning about Taiwan being a crucial bottom line aims to prevent conflict. He suggested observing if the US shifts its stance from "not supporting" to "opposing" Taiwan independence, and monitoring potential changes in US arms sales.
