Chinese President Xi Jinping has repeatedly underscored that the Taiwan issue in China-US relations is a major red line that must not be crossed. Beijing has also urged Washington to stop sending “erroneous signals” to Taiwanese separatists.
Xi Jinping warned Ursula von der Leyen about Washington’s attempts to provoke Beijing into attacking Taiwan, the Financial Times reported.
China’s president delivered the cautionary message in April 2023 both to the European Commission president and officials in his own country, according to insiders.
The gist of Xi’s warning was reportedly that the Biden administration was trying to goad the People's Republic of China (PRC) into invading Taiwan, but the Chinese leader would not be taken in that easily.
When delivering the warning last year, Xi purportedly added that a conflict with the US would dismantle many of his country’s impressive achievements and undercut the stated goal of achieving a "great rejuvenation” by 2049. The report laid emphasis on the fact that if true, this would have been the first known case of Xi Jinping making such a claim to a foreign leader.
There has been no comment specifically on the report from either the Chinese Embassy in Washington or von der Leyen’s spokesperson.

Sounds like projection on the part of Xi, but with BiXiden in control of US foreign policy through his minions like that Blynkin guy, it could well be true.
I agree. With Biden in charge anything is possible.
I believe him re: the US, but disbelieve him over his lack of expansionist plans.
The CCP will attack and conquer (BeijingBiden will do nothing) when they are ready to accept the score of port cities totally destroyed by Taiwan nukes smuggled in months ago. Nukes are on the market and if in a container adequately shielded no amount of surveillance, on the ground or otherwise, is gonna find ‘em.
Biden’s regime has been promoting a major WW with Russia. Biden’s regime has been promoting, funding, and protecting the Fakestinian terrorist attackers in the mid-east.
Biden’s regime has been promoting, funding, and protecting the Hootoos blocking international shipping in South Asia.
and when we come right down to it,
Biden’s regime has been promoting CW2 in USA
it is a very very very war-mongering regime
“..the Biden administration was trying to goad the People’s Republic of China (PRC) into invading Taiwan,..”
In hindsight, it appears Biden was “goading” Putin in an invasion, even though the war starting in 2014 was raging,.
heads up
If we’re provoking another country in addition to Russia, it’s pretty clear we’re not thinking things through.
Sputnik (Putin) “news”. Nuff said.
Thank you for pings.
From the article:
"Xi Jinping warned Ursula von der Leyen about Washington’s attempts to provoke Beijing into attacking Taiwan, the Financial Times reported.
The report has its origin with The Financial Times.
Xi on track to get Ceaucesco’d.
It would be relatively easy to “Ukrainize” Taiwan.
“I believe him re: the US, but disbelieve him over his lack of expansionist plans.”
True, but protecting shipping lanes and access to raw materials will often look ‘expansionist’. In most cases, true Expansionist societies have an ideology driving them. In the case of Hitler, it was Nazism, racial purity, and ‘living space’ for his people, for Stalin of course it was Communism, for the US, it’s obviously Climate Change and Globo-homo. It’s difficult to assign anything like that to China as one would be hard-pressed, for example, to find modern China extolling the ‘virtues of Communism’ or any other overriding cause they feel they need to push on to the world.
But who knows, eventually we will find out regarding China.
Not really open to question at this point, from my perspective.
