🇺🇸🇨🇳After nearly a decade since his last visit, US President Donald Trump is meeting Chinese President Xi Jinping in Beijing in a historic summit focused on global trade, technological rivalry and rising tensions over Taiwan, one of the world’s most sensitive flashpoints.
🇹🇼China claims Taiwan as part of its territory while the United States continues to back the island with military support and strong diplomatic ties. Caught in the middle is a resilient democracy that has become one of Asia’s greatest success stories, despite never being formally recognised as a sovereign state by most other countries.
🎥FRANCE 24's Stella Elgersma takes a closer look at the tense triangle between Taiwan, China and the United States: how it came to be, what's really at stake and whether a military confrontation is truly on the horizon.
Is a Chinese invasion of Taiwan imminent?
