An upcoming visit to China by Taiwan’s opposition leader is unlikely to impact U.S. arms sales policies toward Taipei or alter the Taiwan agenda at the planned Trump–Xi summit, some experts say.

At the invitation of Chinese leader Xi Jinping, Kuomintang (KMT) chairwoman Cheng Li-wun will begin a six-day visit to Jiangsu, Shanghai, and Beijing on April 7.
