Xi told Biden he plans to take Taiwan — by any means necessary

Chinese President Xi Jinping warned President Biden last month that he intends to end Taiwan’s decades-long de facto independence — peacefully, if possible.

Xi told the 81-year-old commander-in-chief that “Beijing will reunify Taiwan with mainland China but that the timing has not yet been decided,” NBC News reported Wednesday, citing three current and former US officials briefed on the meeting.

The White House didn’t deny the exchange, which occurred during a Nov. 15 summit outside San Francisco that was attended by a dozen US and Chinese officials.

“I’m not gonna get into the specifics of the discussion between the two leaders,” National Security Council spokesman John Kirby told reporters on Air Force One en route to Milwaukee. “I think you can understand I’m not gonna read out that private conversation.”

“President Xi has been public and clear about his desires for reunification — that’s not something that’s different or new,” Kirby added.

“Beijing will reunify Taiwan with mainland China but that the timing has not yet been decided”

That has been their plan since 1949.

I can’t help but believe their ‘timing’ has much to do with who is President here... meaning 2024 might look like a window of opportunity to them...

If Xi had told this to Trump the commie media would DEMAND to know what Trump said in response. I want to know what Biden told Xi after Xi told him he would take Taiwan, did Biden say “Okie Dokie just do it after the 2024 election I will have more flexibility”

Better get that right to Nimrata Haley - her daily junk mail has been salivating over war with China.

Biden probably said, “We’re on board as long as it happens in 2025 and I’m still president. Wink, wink. Better get those Chinese-Dominion machines crankin’.”

Then after that Putin rolls into the Baltics, and Kim jung un tries to reunite the Koreas into “best Korea”. And Iran blocks the strait of Hormuz.

And at first I thought it said “Putin”. But if China goes at Taiwan Putin’s gloves come off in Europe.

China will not need to invade Taiwan. It will be similar to Hong Kong.
