TOKYO -- Four days after Japan and the U.S. issued a joint leaders' statement that mentioned Taiwan for the first time in 52 years, Chinese President Xi Jinping broke his silence at the Boao Forum for Asia on Tuesday, railing against what he saw as foreign meddling.
"Bossing others around or meddling in others' internal affairs would not get one any support," Xi said at his keynote speech for the event.
