Biden does not believe China has ‘imminent’ plans to invade Taiwan
US leader says he and China’s leader, Xi Jinping, had ‘candid and clear’ talks at G20 summit in Bali
Joe Biden has said he does not believe China has any “imminent” plans to invade Taiwan, but objected to its “coercive and increasingly aggressive actions” toward the island in his first in-person meeting with Xi Jinping since they became leaders.
Speaking after they met on Monday at a luxury resort hotel in Bali, Indonesia, where they are attending the G20 summit, Biden said he and the Chinese leader had been “candid and clear” with each other on subjects ranging from Taiwan to trade.
