Chinese President Xi Jinping's comments on Taiwan have shifted in tone, with his call for boosting economic links with Taiwan before his meeting with US President Joe Biden contrasting with previous fiery rhetoric. However, during their meeting, Xi told Biden that Taiwan is the biggest, most dangerous issue in US-China ties, emphasizing Beijing's commitment to achieving reunification and urging the US to 'stop arming Taiwan'. These conflicting statements reflect the complex and sensitive nature of the Taiwan issue in US-China relations.
