US President Donald Trump has warned China that Beijing knows very well that if it attacks Taiwan, it will have serious consequences. Trump made this comment in an interview with CBS after meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping. Trump said that this issue did not come up during our meeting and he (Xi Jinping) himself did not raise it because he understands the situation very well. He also said that if something happens you will know, but he (Xi) knows very well what the outcome will be.

Trump, however, did not clarify what America’s reaction would be if China took any action against Taiwan. He said, “I cannot reveal my strategy. I am not one of those people who tell everything in advance, but the person on the other side knows what will happen.” Trump claimed that during his presidency, China never took any aggressive steps against Taiwan because they knew what the consequences would be. He said, “Xi Jinping and his officials openly said that as long as Trump is president, we will not take any action against Taiwan.”

US Defense Minister met China’s Defense Minister

Meanwhile, US Defense Minister Pete Hegseth met Chinese Defense Minister Admiral Dong Jun in Malaysia. This meeting took place during the conference of defense chiefs of South-East Asian countries and just a day before Trump and Xi Jinping had talks in South Korea.

Hegseth said on social media platform The Pentagon reiterated that the US does not seek confrontation, but will remain steadfast in protecting its interests and maintain an adequate military presence for regional stability.

What did Admiral Dong Jun say to America?

During the meeting, Admiral Dong Jun told America to adopt a cautious stance on the Taiwan issue and stick to the policy of opposing Taiwan independence. Although the Communist Party of China (CCP) has never ruled Taiwan. It still considers this democratic island as its part and has been threatening to use military force to regain control.

In the past few years, China has continuously increased maneuvers around Taiwan, sending fighter aircraft almost daily, due to which tensions in the Taiwan Strait have reached their peak. American intelligence agencies say that Xi Jinping has instructed the army to be prepared for a possible attack by 2027. During his recent visit to Tokyo, Hegseth described China’s rapid military expansion as a real and immediate threat to the Indo-Pacific and said the US-Japan alliance is critical to responding to this threat.

The increasing tension between America and China has once again shocked the global market. US President Donald Trump has announced that from November 1, 2025, 100% new tariffs will be imposed on all products imported from China, which will be in addition to the tariffs already in place. This announcement came at a time when China has started an antitrust investigation against American chip manufacturer Qualcomm. This investigation is related to the acquisition of Israeli chip designer company Autotalks by Qualcomm.

China launches antitrust investigation on Qualcomm

On October 10, China’s State Administration for Market Regulation (SAMR) announced that it was investigating Qualcomm. It is alleged that the company had not properly declared some details of the Autotox acquisition deal, thereby violating China’s competition laws. This deal was finalized in June 2025.

Qualcomm had earlier in 2015 also paid a fine of $975 million under China’s antitrust laws. According to reports, the company had stopped this deal in 2024, but it was completed this year. Autotox makes vehicle-to-everything (V2X) communication chips, which help prevent car accidents and make automotive technology smarter.

America’s big economic attack on China

The Trump administration has said that this major step has been taken in response to new export controls on China’s rare earth minerals and lithium batteries. The US President also said that America will take unilateral action, no matter what other countries do. He indicated that he may also cancel his meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping at the APEC summit next month.

Trump also said that America will also implement export controls (export restrictions) on all important software. According to Stephen Wu, founder of Carthage Capital, China is not acting merely on a formal mistake. This is part of America’s strategy to put pressure on the chip and automotive supply chain.
