China has warned that the United States must not block their aims of ‘national reunification’ with Taiwan just hours after Xi Jingping and Joe Biden held a landmark meeting
China has issued a pointed warning over Taiwan just hours after Joe Biden and Xi Jingping held a landmark meeting.
A statement released by Beijing on Monday described attempts to block their aims of “national reunification” with the self-ruled island as a “red line that must not be crossed” in future relations with the United States.
The Asian superpower continues to claim US-allied Taiwan as part of its territory under its ‘One China’ policy, despite the wishes of the majority of its people to remain independent of the mainland.
The comments come after Joe Biden told reporters that he and the Chinese premier had been “straight forward and willing to compromise” on a number of issues following their three-and-a-half hour discussion in Bali, Indonesia ahead of a crucial G20 summit.
