Taipei, Nov. 9 (CNA) Taiwan expects the United States and China to continue their

efforts to ensure peace and stability in the Asia-Pacific region, the Presidential Office said Thursday.

The Presidential Office was commenting on U.S. President Donald Trump’s visit to China and his meeting earlier in the day with Chinese President Xi Jinping (習近平) at the Great Hall of the People.

“Our position is clear: we hope the two countries will continue their efforts to actively promote regional peace, stability and prosperity in the future,” Presidential Office spokesman Alex Huang (黃重諺) said one day after Trump’s arrival in Beijing as part of a 12-day Asian tour.

At a joint press conference later in the day, neither Trump nor Xi mentioned Taiwan but according to China’s Xinhua News Agency, the issue was raised during the meeting between the two leaders.    [FULL  STORY]
