Xi warns Trump mishandling of Taiwan issue will push bilateral ties to 'dangerous place'

BEIJING, May 14 (Reuters) - China's President Xi Jinping told U.S. President Donald Trump on Thursday that if the Taiwan issue is not handled well, the two countries will clash or even come into conflict, pushing China-U.S. relations into "a very dangerous place", Chinese state media Xinhua reported.

Xi called Taiwan the most important issue in China-U.S. relations in his meeting with Trump, who is in Beijing for a summit with the Chinese leader, according to Xinhua.

China views democratically governed Taiwan as its territory - a claim that Taipei rejects - and opposes U.S. arms sales to the island.
