Trump's Words: Taiwan and China's Next Move

In a recent chat, U. S. President Donald Trump shared his thoughts on China and Taiwan. He believes that it's up to Chinese President Xi Jinping to decide what China does about Taiwan. Trump also mentioned that he would be unhappy if China changed Taiwan's current situation. He thinks Xi won't make any big moves during his time as president. Trump was talking about this while discussing Venezuela. He doesn't think the situations are the same. He believes Taiwan doesn't threaten China the way Venezuela's government threatened the U. S. Trump is confident that Xi won't act on Taiwan while he is president. He thinks any big moves might happen after he leaves office.Last year, Trump's team said they want to avoid conflict with China over Taiwan and the South China Sea. They plan to do this by making the U. S. and its allies stronger militarily. China sees Taiwan as part of its own territory. They say it's their right to decide what happens with Taiwan. The U. S. doesn't have formal ties with Taiwan, but they support the island. This has been a sticky point in U. S. -China relations for a long time. Trump hasn't said much about how he would handle tensions over Taiwan. He has mostly avoided the topic.
