In this week’s episode of China Insider, Miles Yu reviews the moratorium of American weapon sales to Taiwan as part of a $14 billion package approved by Congress, and how the decision impacts cross-strait relations. Next, he covers the bilateral dialogue held between Presidents Vladimir Putin and Xi Jinping and assesses the outcomes and joint statement issued by both leaders following the summit. Finally, Miles discusses the tragic mining disaster at the Liushengyu mine in Shanxi Province, and analyzes how this crisis compares to prior mining disasters and China’s ongoing issues with adherence to safety regulations.
