The US and Chinese leaders have warned each other over Taiwan during a phone call that lasted more than two hours.
President Joe Biden told his Chinese counterpart, Xi Jinping, that the US strongly opposed any unilateral moves to change the island’s status because the US policy on Taiwan had not changed.
Beijing said Mr. Xi had told Mr. Biden to abide by the one-China principle, warning him that “whoever plays with fire will get burnt”.
Tensions over the issue have increased ahead of a rumored plan for US House of Representatives Speaker Nancy Pelosi to visit Taiwan. END
