Sullivan&#8217;s visit to China included discussions with \u200d<a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/biden-environmental-appointee-faces-conflict-of-interest-scrutiny-on-hill\/\" title=\"Biden Environmental Appointee Faces Conflict of Interest Scrutiny on Hill\">high-level officials<\/a>, \u200bincluding President Xi\u2063 Jinping. During the meeting, Youxia expressed strong opposition to U.S. military support for Taiwan, emphasizing that Taiwan is a core interest for China and \u2062warning against any military \u2063collusion between the U.S. and Taiwan.<\/p>\n<p>Youxia\u2064 characterized the &#8220;Taiwan independence&#8221; movement as\u2062 a severe threat to peace in\u200c the Taiwan Strait, insisting that \u200dChina \u200cwould take countermeasures\u200b against perceived provocations. Sullivan, in response, reiterated\u2062 the importance of\u2063 avoiding conflict and \u2062maintaining stability, while also \u200bstressing\u200d U.S. commitments to freedom of navigation in the region.<\/p>\n<p>Despite these diplomatic\u2063 efforts, tensions remain high, especially \u2064given China&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/republicans-drawing-new-battle-lines-in-heated-defense-budget-fight\/\" title=\"Republicans Drawing New Battle Lines in Heated Defense Budget Fight\">military expansion<\/a> in the \u2064Asia-Pacific region and ongoing \u2064aggressive actions\u2062 against U.S. \u200ballies. The Biden administration has faced\u2063 criticism\u200c over its response to China&#8217;s actions, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/report-china-is-stealing-dna-of-u-s-citizens\/\" title=\"Report: China is Stealing DNA of U.S. Citizens\">including cyberattacks<\/a> and illicit drug trade issues. Future communication \u200bbetween Biden and Xi is anticipated, but the nature of ongoing U.S.-China\u2063 relations continues to be \u200bprecarious.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<section> <script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC2)\")<\/script><\/p>\n<p>The head of China&rsquo;s defense and President Joe Biden&rsquo;s National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan met Thursday and sparred over the U.S.&rsquo; ongoing relationship with Taiwan.<\/p>\n<p>Sullivan traveled to China this week for high-level strategic talks with Beijing officials, including Chinese President Xi Jinping. During a meeting with Chinese General of the People&rsquo;s Liberation Army Zhang Youxia on Thursday, Youxia warned Sullivan against the U.S.&rsquo; support for Taiwan and demanded that it stop offering the island military assistance, according to a readout from the Chinese Ministry of National Defense.<\/p>\n<p>Youxia &ldquo;stressed that the Taiwan question is at the very core of China&rsquo;s core interests&hellip; and the first red line that must not be crossed in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/ap-china-deals-blow-europe-escalating-trade-war\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">China<\/a>-U.S. relations,&rdquo; according to a readout of the meeting. &ldquo;China is committed to safeguarding peace and stability in the Taiwan Strait, yet &lsquo;Taiwan independence&rsquo; forces are as incompatible with peace and stability of the Taiwan Strait as fire with water.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>China&rsquo;s view is that Taiwan is a rogue state that needs to be brought back into the fold, whether peacefully or by force. The country has expressed anger in the past when other nations help or maintain relations with Taiwan.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;The [Chinese military] will definitely take countermeasures against the provocations of the &lsquo;Taiwan independence&rsquo; forces,&rdquo; Youxia told Sullivan, according to the readout. &ldquo;China urges the U.S. side to stop military collusion with Taiwan, stop arming Taiwan, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/mayor-eric-adams-fbi-probe-could-open-the-door-for-disgraced-democrats-big-comeback\/\" title=\"Mayor Eric Adams&#039; FBI investigation may pave the way for a disgraced Democrat&#039;s major comeback\">stop spreading false narratives<\/a> on Taiwan.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>  <script> \t\t\t\tif( ! getCookie( 'ff_subbed' ) ) if( typeof FFADS.replace_ict !='undefined' ) if( FFADS.replace_ict ) eval( FFADS.replace_ict ); \t\t\t<\/script> <\/p>\n<p>Sullivan asserted &ldquo;that both countries have a responsibility to prevent competition from veering into conflict or confrontation,&rdquo; according to a separate readout of the meeting provided by the White House. Sullivan also &ldquo;raised the importance of cross-Strait peace and stability [and] the U.S. commitment to freedom of navigation in the South China Sea,&rdquo; although Taiwan is not directly mentioned in the readout.<\/p>\n<p>Sullivan&rsquo;s meeting with Xi appeared to focus on different matters, such as prioritizing communication and building on commitments made between the Chinese president and Biden in November, according to a readout of the meeting from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/not-joking-biden-will-get-raise-leaves-white-house-earn-presidency\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">the White House<\/a>. Biden is expected to call Xi sometime in the coming weeks, according to a White House readout; it is unclear whether they will meet in person again before Biden&rsquo;s term ends in January.<\/p>\n<p>The Biden administration has faced criticisms for its handling of China&rsquo;s increasing aggression against U.S. allies and the West. China has expanded its military operations in the Asia-Pacific region and has been suspected of attempting to undermine American society through a variety of methods in recent years, including through cyber attacks against critical U.S. infrastructure systems, stealing U.S. technologies and allowing the flow of fentanyl precursors from its mainland into South and Central America, where it is turned into a final product and shipped over the U.S. southern border.<\/p>\n<div class=\"disclaimer\">\n<p><em>All content created by the Daily Caller News Foundation, an independent and nonpartisan newswire service, is available without charge to any <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/union-membership-plummets-to-record-low\/\" title=\"Union Membership Plummets to Record Low\">legitimate news publisher<\/a> that can provide a large audience.
