Beijing: Xi Jinping and Joe Biden held two hours of ‘candid and in-depth’ talks on Thursday, in which the Chinese president warned his US counterpart not to “play with fire” amid mounting tensions over Taiwan.
‘Those who play with fire will eventually get burned,’ expressed Xi, reported China media. ‘I hope the US side fully understand that,’ said Jinping.
Chinese state media said Xi told Biden in their fifth call as leaders that the US should abide by the ‘one-China principle’ and stressed that China firmly opposed Taiwanese independence and interference of external forces.
