AI Summary (NQ-processed)
The Financial Times reports that China is halting a planned visit by top Pentagon policy official Elbridge Colby to pressure US President Donald Trump to delay a $14 billion arms sale to Taiwan. Experts analyze that Beijing is using the high-level visit as a bargaining chip to delay, split, or reduce the arms package, or at least to postpone the announcement until after Chinese President Xi Jinping's US visit to avoid political embarrassment.
