Trump-Xi summit comes with high stakes for Taiwan, the island democracy that China claims as its own

President Donald Trump's approach to Taiwan is raising questions ahead of his summit with Chinese President Xi Jinping, with concerns that the US may dial back support for the island democracy. Trump has authorized a large arms package for Taiwan but has also discussed the sale with Xi and called on Taiwan to pay for protection. The US policy towards Taiwan remains unchanged, according to Secretary of State Marco Rubio.
