Taiwan and human rights are ‘red lines’ for China, ambassador says ahead of Trump-Xi meeting

The Chinese ambassador to the United States has cautioned that Taiwan and human rights are "red lines" for China, ahead of a high-level meeting between Chinese President Xi Jinping and U.S. President Donald Trump. In an article in the official Communist Party newspaper, the ambassador, Xie Feng, emphasized that any violation of these principles would not be tolerated.

The upcoming summit aims to address a range of issues, including trade and disputes over Taiwan, and both sides seek to stabilize their relationship. Ambassador Xie urged the U.S. to avoid using national security, economic disparities, or forced labor concerns as a means to limit China's actions.
