Beijing– <\/span>China again gave such a signal taiwan<\/a> will be a priority topic ahead of a much-awaited summit between US President Donald Trump<\/a> And the next week Chinese President Xi Jinping said the US should adhere to the “one China principle” for stable relations with Beijing.<\/p>\n last week<\/a>China’s top diplomat Wang Yi, speaking to US Secretary of State Marco Rubio, said he hoped the US would make the “right choice” regarding the self-ruled island. <\/p>\n China claims Taiwan as its own and has not ruled out using force to take it. Beijing has been increasing its military pressure by sending warplanes and naval ships around the island almost daily.<\/p>\n “The Taiwan question lies at the core of China’s core interests and forms the basis of the political foundation of China-US relations,” Foreign Ministry spokesman Lin Jian said on Thursday. <\/p>\n “Adhering to the One China principle and the three China-US joint communiques, and respecting the commitments made by the US administration on the Taiwan question, is the rightful international obligation of the United States and the prerequisite for a stable, strong, and durable China-US relationship,” he said.<\/p>\n Arthur Xin-Sheng Wang, a defense expert at Taiwan’s Central Police University, said such strong language was rare for Beijing when the two leaders met. The new language also explicitly links US diplomatic actions on Taiwan to Washington’s relations with China.<\/p>\n China and Taiwan separated after a civil war in 1949. The US is the island’s biggest unofficial ally and also sells arms to Taiwan under a law that is required to ensure Taiwan can defend itself. Arms sales and diplomatic support are the primary source of tension between China and the US <\/p>\n Separately, China’s top diplomat Wang said in a meeting with US senators on Thursday that relations with both sides had managed to keep things stable amid the disruptions.<\/p>\n During a meeting with members of the US bipartisan congressional delegation led by Senator Steve Daines, Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi credited President Xi Jinping and Trump for “helping advance the direction of bilateral relations at critical moments.”<\/p>\n “Over the past year, China-US relations have gone through many twists and turns and disruptions, but we have still managed to maintain overall stability,” Wang said.<\/p>\n Daines, a member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee and a strong supporter of Trump, agreed, saying both countries should seek stability. <\/p>\n “I firmly believe that we want de-escalation, not separation. We want stability, we want mutual respect,” he said.<\/p>\n “Maybe we could see some more Boeing airplanes purchased, which I know would be something we would like to see,” Daines said, hinting at a possible outcome when the two leaders meet next week. <\/p>\n The senator also recognized China’s efforts to reduce tensions in the Middle East and help reopen the Strait of Hormuz. He said Wang’s meeting with Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi on Wednesday is evidence of China’s involvement. <\/p>\n Ahead of Trump’s visit to China on May 14-15, US government is putting pressure on Beijing<\/a> Using its influence with Iran to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, where 20% of the world’s oil normally flows.<\/p>\n it was This is Danes’ second visit to China since Trump took power last year<\/a>. He previously visited in March 2025, when the two countries were at odds over trade tariffs and war efforts. illegal fentanyl trade<\/a>.<\/p>\n \u2014-<\/p>\n Wu reported from Bangkok.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Beijing– China again gave such a signal taiwan will be a priority topic ahead of a much-awaited summit between US President Donald Trump And the next week Chinese President Xi Jinping said the US should adhere to the “one China principle” for stable relations with Beijing. last weekChina’s top diplomat Wang Yi, speaking to US<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":125049,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[56],"tags":[190,2721,2576,3081,3559,2305,548,596],"class_list":{"0":"post-125044","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-bible-news","8":"tag-ahead","9":"tag-china","10":"tag-disruptions","11":"tag-remain","12":"tag-stable","13":"tag-ties","14":"tag-trump","15":"tag-visit"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/christiancorner.us\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/125044","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/christiancorner.us\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/christiancorner.us\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/christiancorner.us\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/christiancorner.us\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=125044"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/christiancorner.us\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/125044\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":125051,"href":"https:\/\/christiancorner.us\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/125044\/revisions\/125051"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/christiancorner.us\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/125049"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/christiancorner.us\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=125044"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/christiancorner.us\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=125044"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/christiancorner.us\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=125044"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
