> At a White House meeting with Donald Trump, Xi Jinping urged the United States to oppose “Taiwan independence” and handle the Taiwan issue cautiously. Analysts say Beijing’s wording was more direct than at their previous meeting and sought clearer US policy or official language, while Trump’s response remains unclear and the White House has not released an account of the talks.
