The White House says President Joe Biden has objected to what it says is China's “coercive and increasingly aggressive actions” toward Taiwan during the two leaders' first in-person meeting of their presidencies
as the two superpower leaders on Monday aimed to"manage" their differences in the competition for global influence.
Xi, according to the Chinese government’s account of the meeting, “stressed that the Taiwan question is at the very core of China’s core interests, the bedrock of the political foundation of China-U.S. relations, and the first red line that must not be crossed in China-U.S. relations.” While there were no watershed breakthroughs, the meeting brought each side long-sought, if modest, victories. In addition to the oblique condemnation of Russian nuclear threats, Biden appeared to secure from Xi the resumption of lower-level cooperation from China on a range of shared global challenges. Meanwhile, Xi, who has aimed to establish China as a geopolitical peer of the U.S., got symbolic home turf for the meeting, and Biden’s forceful ‘One China’ policy commitment.
The two leaders agreed to have U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken travel to Beijing to continue the discussions.
