Cross-Strait Relations After the Summit

Описание: May 19, 2026 — Cross-Strait relations remain one of the most critical geopolitical flashpoints in the Indo-Pacific. As U.S.-China strategic competition intensifies and China rapidly modernizes its military, the relationship between Beijing, Washington, and Taipei has become increasingly volatile.

Coinciding with the tenth anniversary of the DPP’s return to power, this discussion examines what the Trump-Xi summit may reveal about the future of Taiwan and cross-Strait relations. How Taiwan is raised and framed by Presidents Xi and Trump could have major implications for regional security and U.S.-China relations in the years ahead.

Hosted by the Asia Society Policy Institute’s Center for China Analysis (CCA), this virtual discussion explores the future of the Taiwan Strait from the perspectives of Beijing, Washington, and Taipei. Moderated by Lyle Morris, CCA Senior Fellow for Foreign Policy and National Security, the conversation features David Sacks, Fellow for Asia Studies at the Council on Foreign Relations; Chung-min Tsai, Professor of Political Science at National Chengchi University; and Shao Yuqun, Director of the Institute for Taiwan, Hong Kong, and Macau Studies at the Shanghai Institutes for International Studies.

Topics include:

Taiwan-China relations
The Trump-Xi summit
U.S.-China strategic competition
Indo-Pacific security
China’s military modernization
Taiwan Strait tensions
Beijing, Washington, and Taipei’s evolving strategies
