China’s President Xi Jinping told his US counterpart Joe Biden that the issue of Taiwan was an “uncrossable red line”, state media said, as the two leaders spoke on a phone call in a new bid to manage tensions between the two sides.
“Xi Jinping emphasised that the Taiwan issue is the first uncrossable red line in China-US relations,” a readout from state news agency Xinhua said, adding: “We will not allow separatist activities and external conniving in support of ‘Taiwan independence’ forces to go unchecked.”
