President Xi stressed to President Trump that the Taiwan question is the most important issue in China US relations. 
Talk to me about that moment when that >> Well, they certainly feel that way and and they always raise that issue and we understand they raise that issue. 
From our perspective, any forced change in the status quo and the situation that's there now would be bad for both countries. 
One of the things the Chinese emphasize which we agree is strategic stability in our relationship. a constructive relationship, but also one that establishes strategic stability so that we don't have misunderstandings that could lead to broader conflict. 
And so we always reiterate the point. 
We hear them when they say this. 
We always respond by saying anything that would compel or force a change in what we have now would be problematic. 
And uh we would certainly our policies on that have not changed. 
It's been pretty consistent across multiple presidential administrations and remains consistent now.
