Top Biden aide meets senior Chinese official, discuss Taiwan

A top White House official, Jon Finer, met on Wednesday with a senior Chinese official and the two discussed tensions over Taiwan and the South China Sea, the White House said.

Finer, who is deputy national security adviser, met Liu Jianchao, head of the International Liaison Department of China's Communist Party, as part of efforts to maintain open lines of communications as directed by U.S. President Joe Biden and Chinese President Xi Jinping at their California summit last November.
