Chinese President Xi reportedly convinced Trump that the People’s Republic has no plans to launch a military attack on Taiwan in the foreseeable future, but instead favors peaceful reunification.

The U.S.’s open arms sales to Taiwan should also be viewed in this context.& nbsp;
Even beyond the Taiwan issue, China can be satisfied with the visit: Trump has pledged to supply high-quality computer chips, ease sanctions on Chinese companies, and establish a permanent bilateral foreign trade committee. In return, China has agreed to supply rare earth minerals and purchase aircraft and agricultural products.
