According to reports, President Xi did a little saber-rattling over Taiwan with President Trump. More or less, he seemed to be saying if the U.S. doesn’t handle Taiwan properly, the two countries will clash – and put the relationship in great jeopardy. No one really knows what that means, forever and ever we’ve had a policy of strategic ambiguity, which amounts to an American defense of Taiwan’s autonomy and independence. I don’t think any of that is going to change. Nor do I think President Trump wants it to change; it’s not really negotiable.

With Brett Velicovich, Marc Thiessen, Michael Faulkender, David Feith, EJ Antoni, and Lee Carter

The U.S. will not give up. Iran must not have any nuclear capabilities. Xi helped make Iran the monster that it is today by arming them to the teeth and through the purchase of 90% of Iran’s oil. Xi gave them weaponry through a space satellite system. Xi gave them money denominated in Chinese Yuan. Now he’s unhappy because the Strait of Hormuz is closed and the oil has disappeared. But don’t expect Xi to give us much help with Iran.

China is not our new best friend. And my modest hope is that this is a summit producing stability and discussion of trade cooperation. But as far Iran goes, the U.S. and Israel are going to carry the ball to an end that is coming very soon. Don’t count on China.
