President Joe Biden spoke with China’s President Xi Jinping late Wednesday, according to a senior administration official, their first call since Biden took office.
The introductory call between the leaders of the world’s two largest economies touched upon a range of issues against the backdrop of escalating tensions between the two countries.
Biden prioritized economic and military issues, and mentioned potential areas of cooperation, including climate change and nuclear proliferation, while calling China out on a range of issues related to its nefarious use of technology, unfair trade and human rights abuses, the senior official said.
The official said prior to the call that Biden would also call Xi out on human rights abuses of China’s Muslim minority Uyghurs and hostile actions toward Hong Kong.
Biden planned to “indicate that this isn’t just about American values, it’s about universal values,” the senior official said before the phone call.
A White House readout of the call released Wednesday evening said Biden “affirmed his priorities of protecting the American people’s security, prosperity, health, and way of life, and preserving a free and open Indo-Pacific.”

We all push off calling our bosses, so no surprise.

Wow. I’m so excited to have the honorable Joe Biden as our commander in chief. Joe is a naturally born leader. He knows how to communicate clearly with foreign leaders. They fear him. Now we have regained the respect of the world. President Biden has already repaired all the damage the bum Trump has caused. Joe is the President in our Nations history.
