Fox News
President Biden said on Tuesday that he and Xi Jinping have agreed to abide by the Taiwan agreement as Beijing takes a more aggressive stance against the democratically-run island, according to reports.
Beijing sent a record 145 fighter jets into Taiwan’s air defense zone for four consecutive days over the weekend and Taiwanese officials have warned of the possibility of a misfire or a war between the two countries, BBC News reported.
"The United States is very concerned by the People's Republic of China's provocative military activity near Taiwan, which is destabilizing, risks miscalculations, and undermines regional peace and stability," Ned Price, a State Department spokesperson, said on Sunday, Reuters reported.
Relations have hit a 40-year low, Taiwan defense minister Chiu Kuo-cheng said amid the provocations, according to BBC.
