Some supportReported by 2 outlets

China is likely to push for an end to weapons sales and deliveries to Taiwan during discussions between Chinese President Xi Jinping and U.S. President Donald Trump. China regards Taiwan as its territory and has repeatedly called on Washington to stop selling weapons to the island. China's foreign ministry has stated that Beijing 'resolutely opposes' U.S. arms sales to Taiwan.

Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The issue of arms sales is expected to be a key point of contention during the summit. The United States is legally required to provide Taiwan with the means to defend itself, despite having no formal diplomatic relations with Taipei. China's push is linked to its interpretation of a 1982 joint statement between the two countries.

A discussion regarding security and regional issues took place in Beijing, alongside Trump's discussion of arms sales and U.S. backing for Taipei.
