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,” according to a readout provided by the White House.

The two leaders also discussed the coronavirus pandemic, climate change, and the possibility of Washington and Beijing pursuing what the White House described as the possibility of pursuing “practical, results-oriented engagements” on arms control.

But officials said Biden also held firm on several key areas of contention.

“President Biden underscored his fundamental concerns about Beijing’s coercive and unfair economic practices, crackdown in Hong Kong, human rights abuses in Xinjiang, and increasingly assertive actions in the region, including toward Taiwan,” the readout said.

So, Biden will continue to buy "made in China" if Xi:

  • stops being a jerk with Australia
  • reins his abuse kinks and start playing more consensual with the Arab descendants along the historic Silk Road
  • stops being a bully in Hong Kong, even if the stop is only for PR reasons
  • lets the guys in Taiwan make in peace the videocards for America and stop building new beaches decorated with war planes in South China Sea

Well, I guess Joe needs lotsa solar panels, magnets for the wind mills and lithium batteries that don't catch fire for his chlorophilia (goin' green, babe), so there's that.

China's Xi Jinping tells Joe Biden confrontation would be disaster for both countries

Confrontation between China and the United States would be a disaster for both countries and the two sides should re-establish the means to avoid misunderstandings and misjudgments, Chinese President Xi Jinping told U.S. counterpart Joe Biden.

Xi also told Biden that he hopes the United States will cautiously handle matters related to Taiwan, Hong Kong and Xinjiang that deal with matters of China's sovereignty and territorial integrity, according to an account of the discussions report

Shirley, Biden's Chinese bank account is well hidden as yet. Ummm... you were saying...?
