China called for a new model of engagement with the United States, seeking to cement a recent thaw with the Trump administration while reinforcing its red line on Taiwan, according to a Bloomberg article shared by @business on X between 3:45 a.m. and 4:15 a.m. UTC on Dec. 30. The report, published on Dec. 30, highlights China's intent to improve bilateral ties under President Donald Trump, elected in 2016 and re-elected in 2024, without compromising its stance on Taiwan amid ongoing tensions. This statement comes during the second day of China's "Justice Mission 2025" exercises around Taiwan, as previously reported by Taiwan's Coast Guard Administration and China's Eastern Theater Command, involving patrols and simulated operations north and south of the island.
