00:26Trump avoiding Taiwan question because of Xi.

00:29A viral moment from Beijing is now sparking global debate after a tense exchange during

00:35the Trump-Xi summit.

00:37At the historic Temple of Heaven, U.S. President Donald Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping

00:44appeared together following hours of private discussions.

00:47During a brief press photo op, a reporter asked Trump how the talks went.

00:52Trump responded positively, praising China and calling the country great and beautiful.

00:57But the atmosphere shifted when the next question came, about Taiwan.

01:02Did you talk about Taiwan?

01:04There was no response.

01:06Trump did not answer as the leaders moved away and the press briefing ended.

01:10The clip quickly spread online, with viewers divided over what the silence meant.

01:16Critics interpreted it as avoidance of one of the most sensitive issues in U.S.-China relations,

01:22especially amid rising tensions over Taiwan.

01:26Others point out that such moments are tightly controlled diplomatic settings, where leaders

01:31often avoid answering contentious questions publicly while negotiations continue behind

01:36closed doors.

01:38The summit itself focused on major global issues, including trade, tariffs, technology competition,

01:45and the growing instability in the Persian Gulf.

01:48Chinese President Xi Jinping has repeatedly described Taiwan as a core issue in U.S.-China

01:54relations, warning of serious consequences if tensions escalate.

01:59Meanwhile, U.S. officials maintain that Washington's Taiwan policy remains unchanged, based on strategic

02:06ambiguity and defensive support.

02:08Trump had also indicated ahead of the meeting that Taiwan would be part of discussions with Xi.

02:13But in this moment, on camera, the answer never came, and that silence is now driving global

02:20speculation.
