U.S. President Joe Biden announced on Sunday that he had engaged in "the highest direct conversations" with Chinese leadership in months, stating that economic fluctuations in China will not drive it to invade Taiwan. Speaking to reporters on the sidelines of the G20 summit in India, he confirmed that "my team and my staff continue to meet with President Xi Jinping's team and government. I met with his second-in-command in India today," noting that their discussions revolved around stability and the Southern Hemisphere. Chinese Premier Li Keqiang was present at the annual G20 summit in New Delhi. He pointed out that the Chinese economy is suffering due to global growth slowdown, but this will not push Beijing to take steps to change the status quo in self-ruled Taiwan. He said, "China is changing some game rules," without specifying which rules.
