China?s president Xi Jinping warns Taiwan on independence, sends message to the US


US President Biden has made it clear that China is the biggest challenge for the U.S. 


In February, he announced the formation of a Defense Department China Task Force to assess the future challenge from China and earlier this month, G7 member states agreed to an initiative aimed at challenging China’s Belt and Road Initiative. 

 

Taiwan and China separated amid civil war in 1949 and China says it is determined to bring the island under its control by force if necessary. The U.S. switched diplomatic recognition from Taipei to Beijing in 1979, but is legally required to ensure Taiwan can defend itself.


The self-governing democratic island enjoys strong bipartisan support in Washington.
