Biden and China’s Xi hold two-hour call amid tension over Ukraine war

US President Joe Biden and Chinese President Xi Jinping spoke on a video call on Friday about Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and Chinese media said Xi underlined that such conflicts are in no one’s interests

Biden was expected to tell the Chinese leader that Beijing would pay a steep price if it supports the invasion, a warning that comes at a time of deepening acrimony between the two nations.

The call lasted just under two hours, the White House said.
