’Nothing to share’ on WH claimed Biden-Xi call; China urges US to stop say one thing but do another

Bloomberg: On Wednesday, US President Joe Biden said that a call with President Xi Jinping was “in the works”. Can you confirm that such a call is being planned? If so, can you share more details? That’s the first part of my question referring to this specific call between President Xi and President Biden. Separately but related, I would like to ask about a broader push that’s been reported on the US side, whereby the US is pushing for calls and meetings with various Chinese officials and across different departments. So my question on this is, how does China view the US push for engagement? Some have described China’s responses as tepid. Is this a fair characterization? Wang Wenbin: On your first question, I have nothing to share.  On your second question, I can tell you that China and the US are in communication. What matters is that the US cannot keep raising the issue of communication on the one hand, while on the other, keep suppressing and containing China. The US cannot say one thing but do another. We urge the US to form a correct perception of China, respect China’s red lines, stop undermining China’s sovereignty, security and development interests, and work with China in the same direction to bring bilateral relations back on the track of sound and stable growth. __________________ ShanghaiEye focuses on producing top-quality contents.
