The Chinese leader vowed that his nation would “stick to the road of peaceful development,” adding that nations should work together to address issues such as terrorism, climate change, cybersecurity and biosecurity. Tensions between China and the US have lingered since a trade war erupted during the Trump administration. Beijing has stepped up military pressure on Taiwan this year, and President Joe Biden last week said the US was committed to defending the democratic government in Taipei from a Chinese attack, comments Beijing denounced.

“The discussion focused on supporting Taiwan’s ability to participate meaningfully at the UN and contribute its valuable expertise to address global challenges, including global public health, the environment and climate change, development assistance, technical standards and economic co-operation,” the State Department said in a statement.

China’s embassy in the US hit back at the remarks, saying in a statement that they “disregard facts” and were “highly misleading.” Biden answered “yes” when asked during a CNN town hall Thursday whether he could pledge to protect Taiwan. “I don’t want a Cold War with China — I just want to make China understand that we are not going to step back, we are not going to change any of our views,” Biden told host Anderson Cooper in Baltimore.

US urges North Korea to stop missile testsPresident Joe Biden has promised to keep seeking diplomacy with North Korea, but with a more low-key approach. The problem with arms race is it gets difficult to judge others when you yourself keep breaking world records for dropping bombs of war. With most of those bombs ending up killing innocent people. Its very hypocritical and stupid How can North Korea stop missile tests yet they feel threatened by the US and South Korea,,, Extend it Fill up with nuclear then launch. Is there right to test there weapon. Does USA seek permission to test there,s? USA just afraid of pyogyang
