Biden and Xi discuss US-China cooperation and conflict.

President Biden and Chinese President Xi Jinping held a candid and constructive phone call, which marked their first direct communication since their summit meeting in California last November. The conversation addressed bilateral relations, regional and global issues, counternarcotics progress, and cooperation in areas such as AI and climate change. Biden raised concerns with Xi about China's support for Russia's defense industry, Taiwan's stability, and the South China Sea's freedom of navigation. The call aimed to maintain regular open lines of communication between the two nations, as both leaders agreed during their summit last year.
