"On issues related to its fundamental interests, such as sovereignty and territorial integrity, China will leave no room for compromise," Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Wang Wenbin told reporters.
Biden said yesterday that the US will stand up for Taiwan and that it has an obligation to defend the island that China considers its territory.
Military tensions between Taiwan and China are at their worst in more than 40 years, Taiwanese officials said earlier this month.
Taiwan says it is an independent country and will defend its freedoms and democracy.
China, however, considers Taiwan to be the most sensitive and important issue in its relations with the US and condemns, as it states, the "collusion" between Washington and Taipei.
