Ylli Bajraktari and David Lin unpack the real dynamic behind the stalled Taiwan arms sale: it's become a bargaining chip in the choreography between Washington and Beijing — will the arms sale happen first, or will Trump and Xi meet first?

With two more anchor meetings already locked in — the November APEC summit and December's G20 — Lin's read is that the delay likely extends through year-end. If the US wants to keep goodwill intact heading into those Xi meetings, pushing the Taiwan sale through now would almost certainly trigger backlash from Beijing.
