In a historic U.S.-China summit in Beijing, President Donald Trump met with Chinese leader Xi Jinping amid heightened global tensions, with the presence of tech titans Elon Musk, Tim Cook, and Jensen Huang underscoring the growing intersection of geopolitics and technology. While both leaders emphasized cooperation over rivalry, the unresolved status of Taiwan remained a flashpoint, with Xi issuing a stark warning about the consequences of U.S. missteps.
