Secretary of State Marco Rubio said Thursday that the U.S. position toward Taiwan is “unchanged” after discussions with Chinese President Xi Jinping.

Beijing has long insisted that Taiwan is a part of China, with this insistence serving as the main area of contention with the United States. When asked if the U.S. had changed its position toward Taiwan after a meeting between President Donald Trump and Xi, Rubio indicated the meeting was irrelevant to the wider U.S. position.
