The Ministry of Foreign Affairs is calling Beijing is "the sole risk to
regional peace and stability."

The statement came after Xi Jinping told U-S President Donald Trump that
Taiwan was "the most important issue" in China-US relations.

Chinese state media reports quote Xi as telling Trump that if the issue "is
handled properly," then "the bilateral relationship" between the U-S and
China "will enjoy overall stability ...

... otherwise, the two countries will have clashes and even conflicts,
putting the entire relationship in great jeopardy."

Xi also told trump that "Taiwan independence" and cross-strait peace are as
irreconcilable as fire and water"

The foreign ministry here in Taipei says Taiwan will continue to cooperate
with the U-S and other countries that uphold freedom and democracy to ensure
regional security and prosperity.

The ministry is also reiterating that Taiwan and the People's Republic of
China "are not subordinate to each other," and Beijing has no right to
represent Taiwan in any international arena.

Cabinet spokeswoman Michelle Lee says the government's national security and
diplomatic teams remained in close contact with the U-S side during the
Trump-Xi meeting.

While Mainland Affairs Council spokesman Liang Wen-chieh says there has been
no surprising information out of Trump's visit to China so far and the
government will continue to maintain close communication with the U-S side.
