China tells US to act with caution over Taiwan, vows 'no room for compromise'
China urges Washington to tread carefully on Taiwan after President Joe Biden said the US would defend the self-ruled island from attacks by Beijing.
"China has no room for compromise on issues involving its core interests," foreign ministry spokesman Wang Wenbin said, warning that Washington "should act and speak cautiously on the Taiwan issue."
China advised the United States to exercise caution in Taiwan after President Joe Biden stated that the US would defend the self-ruled island against Chinese assault.
Earlier, US President Joe Biden said in a CNN town hall meeting that the United States would come to Taiwan's defense if it came under attack by China.
"Yes, we have a commitment to do that," Biden said on Thursday when asked if the United States would defend Taiwan if China attacked the country.
China considers self-ruled Taiwan to be its own territory.
