In a recent high-profile summit in San Francisco, Chinese President Xi Jinping conveyed a direct message to President Joe Biden regarding the future of Taiwan, a matter that has long been a source of tension in U.S.-China relations. During the meeting, Xi made it unequivocally clear that China is committed to the reunification of Taiwan with mainland China.
Xi’s declaration did not include a specific timeline for this reunification. The Chinese leader’s comments were reported by multiple sources. The summit which lasted four hours, saw Jinping label Taiwan as the most significant and potentially dangerous issue in the bilateral relationship between the United States and China.
Moreover, Jinping expressed his preference for a peaceful reunification with Taiwan, rather than resorting to force.
