Xi Jinping outlines China's red lines in talks with Biden at summit in Peru

During a summit in Peru, Chinese President Xi Jinping told U.S. President Joe Biden that Taiwan, democracy, human rights, and development are "red lines" for China. He stated these issues should not be challenged. Xi warned against U.S. involvement in South China Sea disputes and urged for partnership instead of rivalry. He emphasized that cooperation could lead to better relations between the two countries. This marks a clear stance from China on its core issues, contrasting with previous discussions that may have allowed for more flexibility. The focus is now on maintaining stable bilateral relations.
