Taiwan's foreign ministry says the island will continue to strengthen its self defence capability and prepare itself for any eventualities, as Chinese president Xi Jinping tells the United States to stop arming Taiwan during a direct meeting with US President Joe Biden on APEC sidelines. "We will also prepare ourselves for any eventualities and proactively seek international support to let China know that the international community attaches great importance to the peace and stability of the Taiwan Strait," says foreign ministry spokesperson Jeff Liu.
