China Warns of Summit Cancellation Over US Taiwan Arms Sales

Beijing considers Taiwan a critical issue and a "red line" in China-US relations, warning that mishandling it could lead to conflict. The planned meeting, scheduled for September 24, is important for Trump ahead of US midterm elections. Both sides have emphasized the sensitivity of Taiwan amid rising regional tensions.
