Biden-Xi meeting: US prez vows no 'new cold war' with China following their first talks
Xi-biden
Following a cordial meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping, US President Joe Biden said that there will be no "new cold war" with China. Following their direct meeting, both leaders talked about various topics other than Taiwan. The talks were held soon after Xi arrived for the G20 summit.
It was their first face-to-face meeting since Biden took office.
"We're going to compete vigorously. But I'm not looking for conflict, I'm looking to manage this competition responsibly," Biden said after talks with Xi on the sidelines of the G20 summit in Bali, Indonesia.
Biden said he did not think China would invade Taiwan.
Taiwan has been a hot topic for discussions between the US and China. Beijing claims the self-governing island to be a part of its territory. However, Taiwan opposes Beijing's claims.

The Chinese news agency quoted Xi as saying, "The Taiwan question is at the very core of China's core interests, the bedrock of the political foundation of China-U.S. relations, and the first red line that must not be crossed in China-USrelations."
The diplomatic relations between the US and China were roiled in recent years over topics including Hong Kong, Taiwan, the South China Sea, trade practices and US's imposed restrictions over Chinese technology.
