"Xi's Warning to Biden: Taiwan's Reunification with China Imminent"

Chinese President Xi Jinping warned President Joe Biden during their recent summit that Beijing intends to reunify Taiwan with mainland China, but the timing has not yet been decided. Xi emphasized China's preference for a peaceful reunification rather than using force, dismissing predictions by U.S. military leaders about a specific timeframe. Chinese officials had requested that Biden publicly support China's goal of peaceful unification and reject Taiwanese independence, but the White House rejected the request. The meeting between the two leaders aimed to reduce tensions, as China's behavior towards Taiwan becomes increasingly aggressive ahead of Taiwan's upcoming presidential election.
