Developing | Xi and Trump discuss Taiwan, bilateral ties in rare call, Xinhua reports

Chinese President Xi Jinping and the US President Donald Trump had a phone conversation on Taiwan and Ukraine issues on Monday, according to the official Chinese news agency Xinhua.

The phone call came after a series of fast-changing geopolitics in recent weeks. China has seen an escalating row with Japan over Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi’s comments on Taiwan, and the US has announced a 28-point peace proposal to end the Russia-Ukraine war, which started in February 2022.

Xi clarified Beijing’s official position on the Taiwan issue, emphasising that Taiwan’s return to China is an important part of the post-World War II international order.

“China supports all efforts committed to peace and hopes that all parties will continue to narrow their differences and reach a fair, lasting, and binding peace agreement as soon as possible to resolve this crisis at its root,” Xinhua said, referring to the Ukraine crisis.

Trump was quoted by Xinhua as saying that the US understood the importance of Taiwan issues.

Both the White House and the Chinese embassy to the US didn’t immediately reply to the Post’s request for comments.

The two leaders met in South Korea in late October, their first in-person sit-down since 2019, during which the two countries reached a one-year tariff truce and export control pause.
