    US Secretary of State Antony Blinken urges Beijing to engage in dialogue on the Taiwan issue. 

US Secretary of State Antony Blinken has voiced concerns to Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi about China's approach to Taiwan.

Blinken has also called for measures to ensure global energy supply ahead of the coming talks between US President Joe Biden and China's President Xi Jinping.

In a statement, US State Department Spokesperson Ned Price said that "Secretary of State Antony J. Blinken spoke on November 12 with PRC State Councilor and Foreign Minister Wang Yi. The Secretary discussed preparations for President Biden’s upcoming virtual meeting with President Xi Jinping, noting the meeting presents an opportunity for the two leaders to discuss how to responsibly manage competition between the United States and the PRC while working together in areas where interests align.”

According to the release, Blinken urged Beijing to engage in dialogue to peacefully resolve the Taiwan issue.

"The Secretary emphasized long-standing US interest in peace and stability across the Taiwan Strait and expressed concern regarding the PRC’s continued military, diplomatic, and economic pressure against Taiwan," Price added.

Biden and Xi Jinping will hold their virtual bilateral summit on Monday night, according to White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki.

China warns the US against supporting Taiwan's independence

Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi and US Secretary of State Antony Blinken, in a recent phone call on Saturday, discussed 'meeting each other halfway' in the virtual summit which is said to be held on Monday. The summit aims to ameliorate bilateral ties between the two superpowers, which will take place through a video meeting between China's President Xi Jinping and US President Joe Biden. 

When it came to the issue of Taiwan, which has recently sparked sequences of tensions in the South China Sea, Yi stressed that support for Taiwan's independence will disrupt regional peace and stability, and will eventually cause substantial damage, as per history and reality. He warned the US not to "send wrong signals" in order not to cause disruption.
