A new war front on the horizon? New York Post: Xi Jinping told Biden he will take Taiwan by any means

Chinese President Xi Jinping warned US President Joe Biden last month that he intends to end Taiwan's decades-long "de facto" independence peacefully, if possible.

Xi told the White House chief that "Beijing will reunify Taiwan with mainland China, but that the timing has not yet been decided," NBC News reported Wednesday, citing three US officials briefed on the meeting.

The White House did not deny the exchange between the leaders, which took place during a Nov. 15 summit outside San Francisco attended by several US and Chinese officials, according to the New York Post.

"President Xi has been public and clear about his wishes for reunification, this is not something different or new," National Security Council spokesman John Kirby said after the meeting.

During the summit, Xi reportedly said that "China wants to take Taiwan peacefully, not by force."
