President Joseph R. Biden, Jr. spoke today with President Xi Jinping of the People’s Republic of China (PRC). The conversation focused on Russia’s unprovoked invasion of Ukraine. President Biden outlined the views of the United States and our Allies and partners on this crisis. President Biden detailed our efforts to prevent and then respond to the invasion, including by imposing costs on Russia. He described the implications and consequences if China provides material support to Russia as it conducts brutal attacks against Ukrainian cities and civilians. The President underscored his support for a diplomatic resolution to the crisis. The two leaders also agreed on the importance of maintaining open lines of communication, to manage the competition between our two countries. The President reiterated that U.S. policy on Taiwan has not changed, and emphasized that the United States continues to oppose any unilateral changes to the status quo. The two leaders tasked their teams to follow up on today’s conversation in the critical period ahead.
End of White House statement. Chinese statement on Global Times follows:
Xi urges US, NATO to talk with Russia, opposes indiscriminate sanctions
Chinese President Xi Jinping encouraged the US and NATO to have conversations with Russia to solve the problems behind the Ukraine crisis, and expressed opposition to indiscriminate sanctions, during his video meeting with US President Joe Biden on Friday.
The Ukraine crisis is not something we want to see, and the events again show that countries should not come to the point of meeting on the battlefield. Conflict and confrontation are not in anyone's interest, and peace and security are what the international community should treasure the most, Xi said.
After Biden said the US does not seek a new Cold War, changes in China's system, a stronger alliance against China, supporting "Taiwan secessionism" or conflict with China, Xi said he takes the remarks very seriously.
On China-US relations, Xi said the direct cause for the current situation in the China-US relationship is that some people on the US side have not followed through on the important common understanding reached by the two presidents and have not acted on Biden's positive statements. The US has misperceived and miscalculated China's strategic intention.
The meeting lasted nearly two hours, and both Xi and Biden agreed that it was constructive, and urged working groups on both sides to take concrete actions to bring bilateral relations back to the right track and make respective efforts in solving the Ukraine crisis.

In the future, these should be posted on YouTube.
That isn’t a readout of the call. That is an excerpt of what Biden hoped to convey. Whether he said it or flubbed it is not in evidence.
“In the future, these should be posted on YouTube.”
The Biden note taker should be the highest paid person in DC. Imagine trying to make Biden sound coherent?
I guess Biden simply nodded in response to this statement by Xi, since the White House posted no counter argument.
And he knows it isn't ShizzPantz.
Translation: Status quo will be maintained, regardless of any adverse effects of that status quo on any interests of the United States.
What is Biden not saying publicly about what he is giving in to Xi, to get Xi to agree to anything???
The idiots who advise Biden told him everything China Soros about, so promise them we won’t do any of it and they’ll help us.
Total fools.
Now if I was Xi on that call I would not be the least bit diplomatic. I was start by saying, "Shut up, you senile piece of $&!^. Russia and China have you by the balls and you are going to do everything we tell you.
This is a negotiating tactic designed to throw Biden off. It follows the same approach the Chinese took with Blinken when they met in Alaska early in the Biden Administration. The Chinese representative went 10 minutes beyond his allotted 5 minutes of time and dressed down Blinken, Biden and the United States. In short, he was abusive.
China worries about
Psaki and Jake Sullivan are running this country. Xi knows this.
Brave Sir Robinette bravely ran away.
“...President Xi Jinping spoke today with Joseph R. Biden, Jr...”
In other words, Edgar Bergen spoke with Charlie McCarthy.
Yes, that was my thought also.
With Trump I thought we pretty much got the straight scoop.
With this guy, he'd be removed from office tomorrow, if we knew.
Xi didn’t agree to anything. It’s pathetic.
Contrary to what some here believe, Biden and his team are leftists, and Biden already folded to China and Russia.
Biden has just been pushed by the Allies and Congress, but he wanted Ukraine to fold quickly.
The call:
“Trunalimunumaprzure
我们走吧布兰登”
Let’s go Brandon.
Readout of Xi’s side of the call:
“Yawn”
Biden: Do you have pudding in China?
Xi: We will bury you!
Biden: We don’t have that flavor over here.
Biden: I Josephine R. Biden call out to Xi Ping to surrender.
Staff: No. Call out Putin to retreat and resign.
Biden: I call out Xi Ping and Putin to resign and retreat. I am the United Sates of America.
Staff: No. You’re only the president.
Biden: I call on every leader in the world to stop watching hockey because it is a dangerous sport. It should be banned. Secondly, no child under the age of six should have a jack knife. That’s how wars start.
Staff: Good grief... mention the world peace.
Biden: If I’m elected we will have world peace. Putin and Xi Ping will be playing basketball... which is a safe sport. If they want, they can even play ping pong. I don’t care.
Staff: Wrap it up.
Biden: My staff says this war will be wrapped up. I’m the one who’ll get the Nobel Prize.
Staff: And a cuckoo clock and hear aid too.
LOL
