"The White House did not immediately produce a readout of the video call
between President Joe Biden and Chinese dictator Xi Jinping on Friday
morning, but the Chinese Foreign Ministry produced a detailed account of
the call immediately, publishing it within the hour through Chinese
state media. In China’s account of the call, Xi told Biden he could not
expect any help from Beijing cleaning up the mess he made in Ukraine. According to the Chinese Foreign Ministry, Biden told Xi the United
States does not “seek a new Cold War with China” — a favorite talking
point of the Chinese Communist Party. Biden further assured Xi the U.S. does not support “Taiwan
independence,”
According to the Chinese readout, Biden repeated these pledges to Xi
twice during the call." NYP
