Chinese President Xi Jinping (67) told US President Joe Biden (79), “The issues of Taiwan, Hong Kong and Xinjiang are Chinese internal affairs.” “The US should respect China’s core interests and act carefully.” The Chinese government-run Xinhua News Agency reported. This is the first call between the US and China leaders that took place on the 11th, 22 days after President Biden took office.
Shortly after the talks between the two leaders, the White House said, “President Biden highlighted fundamental concerns about China’s coercive and unfair economic practices, the repression of Hong Kong, the violation of human rights in Xinjiang, and the increasing aggressive behavior in regions including Taiwan. It is a rebuttal from the Chinese side for the announcement that it did.

However, Xi emphasized bilateral cooperation to President Biden first. He pointed out that “the US-China cooperation is advantageous in solving the big problems of both countries and the world.” “The opposition between the US and China is a disaster for both countries and the world.”
Xi also mentioned the conversations President Biden had during his 2011 visit to China. According to Xinhua, Xi said, “You said that the biggest feature of the United States is’possibility,'” and “I hope this possibility will develop in the direction of improving the current bilateral relations.” On the 20th of last month, President Biden said, “At a private dinner with President Xi Jinping very long ago on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, he asked me to define the United States in a word. It is a response to the remarks that I replied’possible’.
President Xi proposed to restore dialogue channels between the US and China. President Xi emphasized that “the US and China should create new mechanisms for dialogue to understand each other’s policy intentions accurately and avoid misunderstandings and misjudgments.” President Biden also agreed to constructive dialogue.
In a call that day, President Biden said, “China is a country with a long history and great civilization, and the Chinese people are great people,” Xinhua said. In addition, “the US and China can avoid conflict and develop cooperation in a wide range of areas such as climate change.” “The US has a candid and constructive dialogue with China based on the spirit of mutual respect to promote mutual understanding and misunderstanding. Wow, I hope to avoid misjudgment.” It is a part of attention whether various dialogue mechanisms such as security and economy, which were cut off during the Trump administration period, will be restored.
