What happened in the world?
Donald Trump returned to the US from a trip to China. He said, among others: on the political situation of Taiwan, which Beijing considers part of China, while Taiwan emphasizes its autonomy from China. — I don't expect anyone to become independent. You know, we're supposed to drive 9,500 miles [15 tys. 289 km]to fight a war. This is not what I expect. I want them to cool down. I want China to cool down, Trump said.
On the flight back to Washington, the US president told reporters that he and Xi had talked “a lot” about the island, but said he “did not want to talk about whether the US would defend it.”
— Xi has very strong beliefs about the island and does not want to see a movement for independence, Trump said, as quoted by the BBC. Asked whether he foresees a conflict with China over Taiwan, he replied: – No, I don't think so. I think everything will be fine. Xi doesn't want war.
— The Taiwan issue is the most important issue in China-US relations, Xi warned during the talks, according to Chinese state media, adding that “if handled incorrectly, the two countries may clash and even fall into conflict.”
Tomasz Sakiewicz himself emphasized on Republika TV that “similar actions” had been taken against other people from the editorial offices of the media he managed.
