China has said it will "never compromise" on the issue of Taiwan, in its first military talks with the US since 2021.

It urged the US to "stop arming Taiwan" and take its concerns "seriously".

This comes just days ahead of pivotal elections in Taiwan, which could push the island further towards - or away - from Beijing.

China claims Taiwan as part of its own territory, but the island sees itself as distinct from the Chinese mainland.

That's a reasonable and well thought out answer, I can accept that.

I think your question was fair and don't like that it's being downvoted fwiw.
