The day was dominated by the US-China summit in Beijing, where Trump flattered Xi Jinping while Xi warned against conflict over Taiwan. Early reports (Spiegel, FAZ) highlighted Trump's hope for Chinese help on Iran, but by mid-morning the focus shifted to Xi's warning and Trump's silence (Welt, Tagesspiegel). Domestically, the AfD claimed a victory in Saxony's parliament, calling it the 'end of the firewall' (Berliner Zeitung). In the afternoon, the SPD rebellion against Pistorius emerged (Bild), and CDU leadership uncertainty grew (Berliner Zeitung). The heating law continued to draw criticism (FR, Junge Freiheit). Evening coverage saw Trump's silence on Taiwan and the Epstein case resurface (Zeit).
