(HAIYUN JIANG/NYTIMES)
US President Donald Trump said China knows the risks of any attack on Taiwan but refrained from explicitly saying the US would intervene militarily on behalf of the democracy of 23 million people.
Speaking in an interview that aired on Nov 2 with CBS' 60 Minutes, Mr Trump said Chinese leader Xi Jinping "understands what will happen" if the People's Liberation Army (PLA) tries to invade.
When pressed by host Norah O’Donnell on what that meant exactly, the US leader said: “I don’t want to give away, I can’t give away my secrets.”
