During his visit to China, Xi Jinping warned US President Trump on Taiwan. He said that this issue could lead to conflict if not handled properly. In response, Taiwan described China as a threat to regional peace.
Beijing: US President Donald Trump, who is on a 3-day visit to China, has suffered a setback in the very first round of talks. During the meeting, Chinese President Xi Jinping clearly told Trump that ‘only if the Taiwan issue is handled properly, the relations between the two countries will remain stable. Otherwise it can also become a cause of conflict. Chinese media has given this news.
China considers Taiwan as its part. But America has informal relations with Taiwan and has also been supplying arms to it. This is what China does not like. That is why Xi Jinping warned Trump and said, ‘Our relations with America will remain stable only if we proceed with caution in the matter of Taiwan. Otherwise it may put bilateral relations in danger.
After the conversation, when journalists asked Trump about Taiwan, he avoided the question. On the other hand, Taiwan, which does not accept China’s sovereignty, reacted by saying, ‘China is the only threat to the peace and stability of the region.’
didn’t ask for help
China is an ally of Iran. Therefore, there was speculation that Trump may request Xi Jinping to put pressure on Iran for a ceasefire during his visit. On this, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio said, ‘We do not need China’s help.’ Trump reached China on Wednesday night and will return to America on Friday. This is his first visit to China since 2017.
Meanwhile, the White House has issued a statement on the conversation between Trump and Xi. It was told that ‘many issues like increasing economic cooperation, removing restrictions on the Strait of Hormuz and preventing Iran from becoming a nuclear power were discussed.’ But there was no mention of Taiwan in this statement. At present, America has imposed a tax of 20% on Chinese goods.
