Trump-Xi summit: What wasn't said might matter the most

The most revealing thing about the summit in Washington may be what the two leaders did not say - and what we still don't know.

On Monday, China released more information of what was agreed at the talks between Xi Jinping and Donald Tump last week, shedding light on a handful of concrete outcomes.

Instead, both governments issued separate accounts of the meeting - perhaps a sign that despite the White House tours and promise of warmer ties, Washington and Beijing remain wary of each other.

Beijing says it has agreed with Washington to launch a new AI dialogue, with further talks scheduled for the end of November.

According to Beijing's accounts of the talks, Xi urged Donald Trump to formally oppose Taiwan independence and handle the issue with caution.
