Trump-Xi Summit: Xi's ‘Thucydides Trap’ warning, push for Taiwan stance — 6 key takeaways from White House talks

Trump and Xi held talks at the White House on September 24. Xi warned that the US and China must prevent strategic competition from turning into conflict and urged prudent handling of the Taiwan issue. Xi also announced that China will invite 100,000 American young people to visit the country over the next five years.

Why it matters: This matters for the Taiwan theme because Xi's warning highlights the risk of US-China confrontation over the island.
