Xi’s message outlined four “red lines,” the crossing of which could potentially trigger a war. These include Taiwan, democracy and human rights, China’s governance system, and its right to development. The explicit nature of Xi’s remarks was significant, marking the first time these red lines were communicated at the presidential level. His firm stance, particularly on Taiwan, highlighted the sensitivity of the issue, as China considers the island part of its territory and has not ruled out the use of force to ensure reunification. It is notable that Xi delivered such a stern warning during President Biden’s tenure, as it is unlikely he would have done so directly to President Trump. This moment is historic and may not recur until long after 2028—by which time China is expected to be in a weaker position.

 

Trump’s willingness to act decisively against Beijing suggests he will continue to leverage these issues to maintain pressure on China.

 

As for the final red line—China’s right to economic development—Trump has stated that he expects all world leaders to act in the best interests of their own people. He has made it clear that while China is free to pursue its development, it must not come at the expense of U.S. interests or American taxpayers.
