She joins Washington Bureau Chief Joe Kawly fresh off the Trump-Xi summit to deliver the read that official Washington will not: Xi Jinping got more than Trump, Taiwan is being used as a negotiating chip, and Chinese companies are supplying satellite imagery that is being used to target U.S. military assets in the Middle East.
