China doesn’t have immediate plans of military action against Taiwan in the coming years, a US official told reporters of remarks by Chinese president Xi Jinping to Joe Biden on Wednesday during a meeting on the sidelines of the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) summit in California.
Elsewhere during their discussion, President Xi reportedly said he hoped China could peacefully reunify with Taiwan, while outlining conditions where force might be used and arguing that the fate of the island was the biggest threat to US-China relations.
