Xi calls for caution from US on Taiwan and South China Sea during talks with Biden

Chinese President Xi Jinping urged the United States to exercise "extreme caution" regarding Taiwan and South China Sea issues during talks with outgoing President Joe Biden in Lima, Peru. Xi emphasized the importance of supporting China's "peaceful reunification" and warned against provocation in the South China Sea. He identified Taiwan as one of four "red lines" in U.S.-China relations that should not be crossed. Tensions have escalated in the Taiwan Strait since the election of Taiwan's independence-leaning leader, William Lai, in May.
