President Biden and Chinese leader Xi Jinping recently held discussions in a “check-in” call, covering various topics including Taiwan, the Korean Peninsula, artificial intelligence, and Russia’s actions in Ukraine. Both leaders reiterated their stances on different issues such as the importance of strategic awareness in bilateral relations and the significance of maintaining peace in areas like the Taiwan Strait and the South China Sea. President Biden expressed concerns over China’s support for Russia in the context of European security and affirmed the U.S.’ commitment to the denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula. The conversation did not indicate any shift in U.S. policy towards China, with competition remaining a prominent aspect. President Biden also raised worries about China’s trade practices and advanced technology use potentially undermining U.S. national security.
