I am convinced, however, that she does not want North Korea to engage in further escalation tools. It should be clear that the United States will respond to a nuclear test from the north and protect their allies in the region, which include South Korea and Japan”- Biden said.
Biden's first direct talks with Xi Yingping also touched on Taiwan's delicate theme. The head of the Chinese state called the island “the first red line” that should not be passed on to US-Chinese relations. Beden assured him that US policy towards Taiwan has not changed, seeking to reduce tensions over the self-government island.

Since before the meeting, Xi made it clear that relations between their two countries were not fulfilling global expectations, and statements later indicated that divisions remain deep among them.
