During a meeting between French President Macron, EU Commission President von der Leyen, and Chinese President Xi Jinping in 2023, Xi Jinping reportedly told von der Leyen that the US was attempting to instigate China to attack Taiwan. This marks the first-known instance of Xi Jinping making such a claim to a foreign leader regarding the US-China-Taiwan relations. The article did not specify which actions Xi Jinping believed were provoking or enticing China to invade Taiwan, but mentioned that some Chinese scholars and retired military officers suggested the US was promoting measures to provoke or entice China into military conflict. Xi Jinping stressed to von der Leyen that China would not fall for these provocations, with former Chinese Ambassador to the US Cui Tiankai also echoing a similar sentiment earlier. Experts speculate that Xi Jinping's remarks may indicate a distortion in his decision-making environment or information input, possibly influenced by his subordinates or his own autocratic tendencies.
