China says US weapons for Taiwan ‘will end up in a museum’

Vice President of the Centre for China & Globalisation and former Translator to Deng Xiaoping Victor Gao joins Matt Frei to discuss the ‘9.99/10’ meeting just concluded between Trump and Xi. During the interview, Gao describes Taiwan as China’s ‘red line of the red line.’ arguing that Donald Trump is a ‘transactional president’ while Joe Biden was a ‘Cold War’ president. Gao also mentions the Thucydides Trap, a theory often applied to tensions between the United States (established power) and China (rising power), suggesting that when a dominant power feels threatened by a fast-growing rival, competition can escalate into conflict, even if neither side actually wants war.
