The White House reported on the 8th (local time) that U.S. President Joe Biden is in close discussions with allies before taking a direct talk with Chinese President Xi Jinping.

Since taking office on the 20th, President Biden has completed a conference meeting through telephone talks with the heads of most major countries, excluding President Xi, from Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau to Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

As Russian President Vladimir Putin also spoke on the phone a week after taking office, the silence between the leaders of the United States, China, and China is growing, raising questions.

White House spokesman Jen Saki told reporters in this regard that “President Biden is in close discussions with his allies before engaging in direct dialogue with Xi.”

Earlier, the White House stated that President Biden mentioned “relationship with China” along with global challenges such as climate change and Corona 19 at a talk with Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison immediately after speaking with President Moon Jae-in on the 3rd. .

Meanwhile, the White House pointed out that China is still silent as the military’s suppression of the Myanmar military coup and the protesting citizens is on the verge. The White House has already named the Myanmar crisis as a’coup’.

“The silence in China is certainly a concern,” said Saki.
