President Joe Biden on Monday said the US was not looking for a conflict with China and dismissed fears of a “new Cold War” following a meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping on the sidelines of the G20 summit in Indonesia. But Taiwan remained a possible sticking point for the future.
Biden said did not believe China had "imminent" plans to invade Taiwan as he gave an upbeat assessment of his talks with Xi, his first face-to-face meeting with the Chinese leader since taking office.
