US President Joe Biden said China’s “provocative” move on the Bali-Taiwan issue endangered the peace. Biden announced his position when he had drinks with Chinese President Xi Jinping at the G20 summit in Bali, Indonesia. The White House said Biden expressed opposition to China’s growing provocation towards Taiwan and raised concerns about human rights abuses in Xinjiang, Tibet and Hong Kong.
Biden, who met with the media after the meeting, responded that the United States supports the “one China policy”. “It is believed that China will not try to attack Taiwan anytime soon. “I think there is no need for a new cold war with China,” Biden added.
Both leaders agreed that nuclear war should never happen. Both have downplayed the threat of nuclear weapons to Ukraine. The two leaders are meeting for the first time since Biden took office.
