President Joe Biden said after his meeting Monday with Chinese President Xi Jinping that he is confident China is not preparing to attack Taiwan.
"I'm committed to keeping the lines of communications open between you and me personally, but also our governments across the board," Biden told Xi on Monday, emphasizing both countries share a responsibility to "manage our differences, prevent competition from becoming anything ever to near conflict, and to find ways to work together on urgent global issues that require our mutual cooperation."
Xi responded: "The world has come to a crossroads. Where to go from here - this is a question that is not only on our mind but also on the mind of all countries. The world expects that China and the United States will properly handle the relationship."
