China\u2019s ambassador to the United States has warned that Taiwan and human rights remain sensitive issues ahead of Xi Jinping\u2019s visit to Washington.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
China has issued a warning ahead of President Xi Jinping\u2019s meeting with U.S. President Donald Trump in Washington.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Chinese Ambassador Xie Feng said Taiwan, human rights and other issues represent \u201cred lines\u201d for Beijing that cannot be crossed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Xi is visiting the United States from September 23 to 25 at Trump\u2019s invitation. The visit comes as the two governments attempt to manage tensions surrounding trade, technology, national security and Taiwan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The summit is taking place against a backdrop of deep strategic competition between the world\u2019s two largest economies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n China has argued that differences should be managed through dialogue and has criticized what it describes as U.S. efforts to constrain China.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The meeting could also address areas where Washington and Beijing have sought cooperation, including economic issues and fentanyl-related concerns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The two leaders\u2019 discussions will be closely watched for any agreements that could reduce tensions or establish further negotiations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The key question is whether the summit produces concrete agreements or simply manages existing disagreements.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" China\u2019s ambassador to the United States has warned that Taiwan and human rights remain sensitive issues ahead of Xi Jinping\u2019s visit to Washington.
