Senior diplomats from the United States and China began a meeting on Friday with tensions high after a visit to Taiwan by U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and an explicit pledge by U.S. President Joe Biden to defend the Chinese-claimed island.
His comments were also the most explicit to date about committing U.S. troops to the defend the island, although the White House insisted its Taiwan policy had not changed.
After Pelosi's solidarity visit to Taipei early last month, China deployed scores of planes and fired live missiles near the island. "Should it be mishandled, it is most likely to devastate our bilateral ties," Wang said, according to a transcript from China's Embassy in Washington. China sees democratically governed Taiwan as one of its provinces. Beijing has long-vowed to bring Taiwan under its control and has not ruled out the use of force to do so.
