China has warned the United States of America against
playing with fire in its relation with Taiwan.
Chinese leader, President Xi Jinping gave the warning on
Tuesday during a virtual summit with US President Joe Biden.
He warned that encouraging Taiwanese independence would be
“playing with fire”, during a talk that has been described as most substantial
since Biden took office in January.
The self-ruled island of Taiwan was of one the major topics during the summit.
America has pledged to help Taiwan defend itself in the
event of an attack and China’s state-run Global Times said Mr Xi blamed recent
tensions on “repeated attempts by the Taiwan authorities to look for US support
for their independence agenda as well as the intention of some Americans to use
Taiwan to contain China”.
“Such moves are extremely dangerous, just like playing with
fire. Whoever plays with fire will get burnt,” it said.
The White House said Mr Biden “strongly opposes unilateral
efforts to change the status quo or undermine peace and stability across the
Taiwan Strait”.
