CCP Warns ‘Core Interests’ and Sentiments of 1.4 Billion Chinese Are a ‘Red Line That Must Not Be Crossed’

A senior Chinese Communist Party (CCP) official on Monday night called for a new relationship with the U.S. after what he called the “misguided policies” of the Trump administration, offering areas of “win-win” cooperation but also warning that challenging China’s “core interests” – such as Taiwan, Hong Kong, and Xinjiang – and hurting the sentiments of its 1.4 billion people was a “red line that must not be crossed.”
