Chinese President Xi Jinping has warned his US counterpart Joe Biden against meddling in China’s dealings with Taiwan.

The two leaders spoke during a phone call that gave no indication of progress on trade, technology or other sore points between the two countries, including Beijing’s opposition to the US house speaker’s possible visit to Taiwan, which the mainland claims as its own territory.
