WASHINGTON, 29 July 2022, (TON): The White House said “President Joe Biden’s upcoming call with Chinese leader Xi Jinping will focus on areas of potential cooperation between the U.S. and China, even as diplomatic relations between the two nations are fraught with tension over Russia, intellectual property disputes and, even, espionage.”
National Security Council spokesman John Kirby said “there is an awful lot in the bilateral relationship between the United States and China for these two leaders to talk about.”
As rising tensions between Washington and Beijing dominated news headlines, Kirby insisted that there was an inherent value in holding a call, even if Biden and Xi did not resolve any of their myriad issues of disagreement.
Kirby said “that’s the key thing: The president wants to make sure the lines of communication with President Xi remain open, because they need to.”
