The US president said that he met Chinese Premier Li Qiang at the G20 summit and does not want to contain Beijing – ‘I want to make sure we have a relationship that is on the up and up’.
US President Joe Biden said on Sunday he held his highest-level direct talks with the Chinese leadership in months and said the countryâs economic wobbles would not lead it to invade Taiwan.
âMy team, my staff still meets with President Xiâs people and his cabinet,â Biden told reporters. âI met with his number two person in India today.â
Chinese Premier Li Qiang attended the annual G20 summit in New Delhi. In March, he took office in the countryâs number two post.
The two men spoke about stability and the Southern Hemisphere, Biden said.
He added that the Chinese economy has struggled due to a lack of international growth, but Biden did not see it leading the country to taking steps to change the status quo of the self-ruled island of Taiwan, which Beijing says is a part of mainland China.
