Every world leader knows what’s going on: America is losing its grip on global power.

Turning the arms sales into a talking point erodes Taiwan’s trust in the United States as its protector.

The Beijing summit did not produce a major agreement between the great powers on the region, but it firmly established that Middle Eastern crises are now deeply tied to the great-power dialogue.

During the Cold War, the United States occupied the apex of this triangular dynamic, pitting China and the USSR against each other. Today, it is Beijing that occupies that apex.

Europeans do not have a choice. They have to get along with both Xi’s China and Trump’s America.

A summit that would normally send a reassuring message ... faces total uncertainty thanks to the weakness of the United States. The only person to blame for this is Trump.

The likelihood is that the outcomes weren’t as favorable as [Trump] initially hoped.

Trump appeared more focused on admiring China’s grand ballroom designs and expressing interest in building a similar one in the United States.

China’s wait-and-see strategy could soon bear fruit.

Trump’s attack already seems distant, while the Taiwan issue is intimately relevant.
