Following US President Donald Trump's visit to China for a summit with Chinese President Xi Jinping from May 13 to 15, 2026, President Xi accepted an invitation to make a state visit to the United States from September 23 to 25, 2026. The bilateral meetings culminated in an agreement to extend the current trade truce, a development that could redirect orders for non-sensitive goods back to mainland China and weigh on order volumes for Taiwanese manufacturers.
