Biden, Xi exploring meeting in person

July 29, 2022 11:15

President Joe Biden and China's Xi Jinping are exploring a meeting in person, after the leaders spent more than two hours Thursday talking through the future of their complicated relationship.

Tension over Taiwan is once again emerging as a flashpoint.

Biden conducted the telephone call from the Oval Office, where he was joined by top aides, including Secretary of State Antony Blinken.

When Biden was vice president, he spent long hours with Xi in the United States and China, an experience he often recalls as he talks about the two countries' opportunities for conflict and cooperation.

However, they have not met in person since Biden became president last year.

Xi has left mainland China only once, to visit Hong Kong, since the Covid-19 pandemic began.
