Biden meets Li Qiang, says China economic ‘crisis’ makes Taiwan invasion less likely

The two super powers have been trying to thaw frosty relations this year after a spat over a suspected Chinese spy balloon that flew over US territory, while fears of an economic slowdown have gripped Beijing.

US President Joe Biden said on Sunday he held his highest level talks with Chinese leadership in months, adding that Beijing’s economic wobbles would not lead it to invade Taiwan.
