Trump Urged Xi to Lift Japan Export Curbs, End Takaichi Freeze

Chinese President Xi Jinping made a historic state visit to the United States in September, his first in over a decade. He also visited India for the first time in seven years, meeting Prime Minister Narendra Modi on the sidelines of the BRICS summit. China will host the APEC summit in November, where Xi will meet US President Donald Trump for the third time this year. 习近平外事活动追踪：2026年9月 中国国家主席习近平于9月对美国进行历史性国事访问，这是十多年来的首次。习近平还七年来首次访问印度，在金砖峰会期间与印度总理莫迪会面。中国将于11月主办亚太经合组织峰会，习近平将在峰会上与美国总统特朗普第三次会面。

Trump pressed Xi Jinping during last month's summit to end a freeze in relations with Japan's Sanae Takaichi, citing Japan's grievances over Chinese restrictions imposed after Takaichi's November comment about potential military intervention in the Taiwan Strait. Beijing regards Taiwan as a core interest. 特朗普敦促习近平结束与日本高市早苗的冻结关系 特朗普在上月峰会期间敦促习近平结束与日本高市早苗的冻结关系，理由是日本对中方在早苗11月关于台海冲突军事干预言论后实施的限制表示不满。北京视台湾为核心利益。

Xi Jinping's state visit to Washington concluded with a "reciprocity" agreement, but whether it grants China equal global status remains unresolved. Other nations without a seat at the table are watching the ambiguity closely. The tarmac greeting, flyovers and state dinner were interpreted as a statement of rank rather than mere courtesy. “‘G2’幻象？习特会后中国追求平等地位，美国寻求交易” 习近平访美之行以“对等”协议结束，但北京是否获得平等全球地位仍悬而未决。无缘谈判桌的国家正密切关注这一模糊局面。停机坪欢迎、飞行表演和国宴被视为地位象征，而非单纯礼遇。

US President Donald Trump pressed Chinese counterpart Xi Jinping to roll back China's export curbs on Japan during their meeting in Washington last month, urging talks between the Chinese and Japanese leaders. Xi also warned Trump about the growing risks of Japanese militarism during the sit-down.
