Conversation: Trump: China's Xi knows 'the consequences' of military action on Taiwan NHK

A: Hey there! Did you catch up with the news lately?
B: Nah, what's new?

A: Well, Trump said something interesting about China and Taiwan. He thinks China won't take any military action on Taiwan while he's in office because Xi Jinping knows how America would react.

B: Hmm, that sounds serious. Did they talk about it during their meeting in South Korea?

A: Not according to Trump. He said they didn't bring up the topic. However, when asked if he'd order US forces to defend Taiwan, he just said "You'll find out if it happens."

B: Seems like he's keeping his cards close to his chest, huh?

A: Exactly! He added that Xi understands the answer but wouldn't tell us publicly. Trump also mentioned that Xi and others said they won't do anything while Trump is president because they know the consequences.

B: That's interesting since Biden hinted at US military engagement to defend Taiwan. So, it seems like Trump's stance is different from his predecessor.
Summary
Trump shares views on China-Taiwan tensions: He believes China won't take military action on Taiwan while he is in office, as Xi Jinping understands America's response. This topic was not discussed during their meeting in South Korea. Trump hinted at being vague about US forces defending Taiwan
