Xi Jinping sets four red lines for US in meeting with Joe Biden
Chinese President Xi Jinping met with U.S. President Joe Biden in Lima, outlining four "red lines" that the U.S. must not cross: Taiwan, human rights, China's development path, and the South China Sea. Xi emphasized these issues as essential for stable U.S.-China relations. During the two-hour meeting, Xi warned against U.S. involvement in Taiwan and South China Sea disputes. He criticized U.S. policies aimed at limiting China's access to advanced technology and urged careful handling of Taiwan, especially regarding its pro-independence leadership. Biden acknowledged their differences but stressed the need for open dialogue. He raised concerns about North Korea's military support for Russia and reiterated the U.S. stance against unilateral changes to Taiwan's status.
