Xi Jinping gave two cellphones to South Korea’s president, who asked how secure they were. “You can check if there’s a backdoor,” he said with a laugh.

The president’s trade truce with China has lowered U.S. tariffs to a level that could pause a longer-term effort to reduce America’s dependence on Beijing.

Many older Chinese immigrants are shifting to the political right, dividing from their children, a trend playing out in the New York City mayor’s race.

The country’s new president rolled out the red carpet for China’s leader, Xi Jinping, and President Trump this week, but the superpower rivalry is making it harder to balance relations.

As NASA worries that China will win the next moon race, Elon Musk and his company tangled with critics.

Amid skyrocketing demand for artificial intelligence systems, the chip-making giant has been thrust into the economic feud between Beijing and Washington.

At an Asia-Pacific summit, the Chinese leader urged countries to “resist unilateral bullying,” an appeal that seemed at odds with his country’s recent actions.

President Trump traveled to Asia to be a statesman, a showman and a traveling salesman, depending on the audience.

The leaders of Canada and China met for the first time in eight years to try to reset relations after years of acrimony.

Xi Jinping secured concessions from Donald Trump in exchange for returning to the status quo.

Some analysts say Beijing won a major victory in its trade talks: Getting the U.S. to withdraw a national security measure that previously was not under discussion.

President Trump explained the order by saying other, unnamed nations were testing their own nuclear weapons, even though no country has tested since 2017.

The president’s ambiguity on nuclear testing is worrisome not only because America’s public can’t know what he means, but because America’s adversaries don’t.

Neither President Trump nor Chinese officials indicated any new developments for the popular video app. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent previously suggested they could “consummate” transfer of control from its Chinese owner.

By withholding soybean purchases and rare-earth exports, China extracted relief from U.S. tariffs and delayed export controls, without conceding much in return.

China agreed to suspend for a year some of its limits on exports of rare earth metals, while the U.S. halved its fentanyl-related tariffs.

Island countries understood that a day like this would come.

President Trump and the Chinese leader Xi Jinping are being described as “irreplaceable” and “world class leaders” before a meeting seen as critical for shoring up a trade truce.

The president signaled he would discuss the sale of Nvidia’s Blackwell chips in a summit on Thursday, a move U.S. officials warned would be a “massive” national security mistake.

The A.I. chip maker has become a linchpin in the Trump administration’s trade negotiations in Asia.

It needs the United States for defense and has spent billions building factories in America. But a Trump trade deal this week with China could erase a Korean edge in the U.S. market.

China’s leader draws on lessons from Lin Zexu, a Qing official whose defiance of Britain led to China’s humiliating defeat but made him a national hero.

The German carmaker held its outlook steady and said it would buy back more than $2 billion in shares, as sales of its high-end models improved.
