Last update: 2 hours agoUS-China Summit Opens in Beijing: Xi Jinping warned Donald Trump that mishandling Taiwan could trigger “clashes or even conflict,” calling the Taiwan issue the “most important” item in US-China relations, while Trump struck a warmer note, praising Xi as a “great leader” and saying the relationship has a “fantastic future.” Taiwan at the Center: Beijing also framed the Taiwan question as a red line, as Washington weighs a stalled $14 billion Taiwan arms package and Taipei signals it is preparing for “surprises.” Trade Talks, No Big Breakthrough Yet: Xi said US-China trade teams have delivered “balanced and positive outcomes” after last-minute talks, but the leaders’ first session ended without major announcements. Semiconductor Momentum: Amid the diplomacy, TSMC lifted its global chip market forecast to $1.5 trillion by 2030 on AI demand, and the company is also set to issue NT$18.4 billion (about $584m) in green bonds. Markets Watch the Tone: Gulf stocks edged higher as investors tracked the summit for Iran-war signals, while Asian equities stayed sensitive to any shift in Taiwan and trade messaging.
