According to China\u2019s state-run media Xinhua, Xi told Biden that it was United States\u2019 recent policies on China that have \u201ccaused serious difficulties\u201d for the bilateral ties.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>The Chinese statement also said Biden told Xi that the United States \u201chas no intention of changing its one-China policy.\u201d<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>China\u2019s hawkish state-run media Global Times has further twisted the Chinese statement to promote CCP propaganda. In a <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/globaltimesnews\/status\/1436165721990393868\">tweet<\/a>, the outlet wrote Biden said the U.S. \u201chas no intention of change its one-China principle.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The United States has long held a \u201cone-China policy,\u201d which asserts that there is only one sovereign state with the name \u201cChina,\u201d but it is different from the \u201cone-China principle\u201d under which the Chinese regime asserts sovereignty over Taiwan. The Taiwan government has also rejected China\u2019s \u201cone-China principle.\u201d<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>The Epoch Times has contacted the White House for comment.<\/p>\n<p>The call comes at a moment when there is no shortage of thorny issues between the two nations, including cybersecurity breaches originating from China, Beijing\u2019s handling of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theepochtimes.com\/giving-the-right-name-to-the-virus-causing-a-worldwide-pandemic-2_3277200.html\">CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus pandemic<\/a>, and what the White House has labeled as \u201ccoercive and unfair\u201d trade practices by Beijing.<\/p>\n<p>The White House is hopeful the two sides can work together on issues of mutual concern\u2014including climate change and preventing a nuclear crisis on the Korean Peninsula\u2014despite growing differences.<\/p>\n<p>Beijing, however, has pushed back against U.S. pressure and increasingly has suggested it could remain broadly uncooperative until Biden dials down criticism on what it deems Chinese internal matters.<\/p>\n<p>The White House readout said the leaders during the call agreed to engage \u201copenly and straightforwardly\u201d on issues where the nations are at odds and where there is agreement.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis discussion, as President Biden made clear, was part of the United States\u2019 ongoing effort to responsibly manage the competition between the United States and the PRC,\u201d the White House statement said. \u201cPresident Biden underscored the United States\u2019 enduring interest in peace, stability, and prosperity in the Indo-Pacific and the world.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Biden\u2019s comments on the Indo-Pacific were conspicuously missing from the Chinese statement. Instead, Biden allegedly told Xi that the United States was willing to have \u201cmore candid exchanges and constructive dialogues\u201d with China, and the United States will bring the Sino-U.S. relationship \u201cback on track,\u201d according to the Chinese statement.<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, Biden also said the United States \u201clooks forward to strengthening communication and cooperation with China\u201d on climate change,\u201d according to the Chinese statement.<\/p>\n<p>Biden from the start of his presidency has sought to put greater focus on China, rallying allies to speak in a more unified voice about Beijing\u2019s human rights record, its trade practices, and its military\u2019s increasingly assertive behavior that has unnerved U.S. allies in the Pacific. He sees Beijing as the most significant economic competitor to the United States and a growing national security concern.<\/p>\n<p><em>Frank Fang and The Associated Press contributed to this report.<\/em><\/p>\n<div class=\"one_author_block round\">\n<div class=\"top_row\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/WEB_IsabelVanBrugen.jpg\" alt=\"Isabel van Brugen\" \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"names\">\n<p>Isabel van Brugen<\/p>\n<p>Reporter<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Isabel van Brugen is an award-winning journalist and currently a news reporter at The Epoch Times.
