In a press conference on Friday, Psaki said the discussion was reportedly \u201crespectful and candid\u201d as Joe Biden made it clear to the Chinese leader where his administration\u2019s policy stood in regards to China acting outside of international norms.<\/p>\n<p>However, the call was beyond overdue as it marked the first time the two have spoken in seven months. High level engagement between the leaders\u2019 top advisers has been noticeably unproductive.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat we\u2019ve seen is that the importance here is about engaging Xi directly at the leader level due to the centralization of power and the power that\u2019s in his hands,\u201d Psaki stated. \u201cHence, that\u2019s the importance of the call. It covered a range of topics.\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Biden\u2019s Press Secretary Jen Psaki brags about Biden\u2019s non-confrontational call with Communist China\u2019s Xi Jinping.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The president has spent a lot of time with President Xi\u2026he drew on that shared experience\u2026the call was very familiar\u2026the tone was not lecturing&#8221; <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/3iRo9gXgkG\">pic.twitter.com\/3iRo9gXgkG<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 RNC Research (@RNCResearch) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/RNCResearch\/status\/1436423074103050246?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">September 10, 2021<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Psaki gave props to Biden for allegedly initiating the call, despite it being the second time the two leaders have spoken since Biden took office. Although Psaki didn\u2019t go into detail about their 90 minute conversation, she did say the call was about \u201ckeeping the channels of communication open between the two countries.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Psaki then reassured one of the Biden administration\u2019s main concerns was the COVID-19 virus.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe continue to support Phase two of WHO\u2019s investigation in China,\u201d she explained. \u201cWe call on China to allow further studies of COVID-19\u2019s origins in China.\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Chinese President Xi Jinping Speaks with US President Joseph Biden on the Phone<a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/v25evojvZF\">https:\/\/t.co\/v25evojvZF<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/1ImoW8C5Io\">pic.twitter.com\/1ImoW8C5Io<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Qin Gang \u79e6\u521a (@AmbQinGang) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/AmbQinGang\/status\/1436212237656592384?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">September 10, 2021<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Other topics discussed among the leaders were climate change, epidemic prevention and control, and economic recovery. Due to the unstable relationship the two countries have had in the past, Psaki added the Biden administration has taken a different approach in managing communications between China and the U.S.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOne of the topics the presidents also discussed is the importance of being able to have private discussions between the two leaders,\u201d she explained. \u201cThis is in contrast to some of the other interactions we\u2019ve had at lower levels with the PRC and so, yes, it was a topic raised, but I\u2019m not going to go into further detail.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, the White House says they are hopeful the two nations could work together, even though concerns still surround China\u2019s cooperation.<\/p>\n<h4>MORE NEWS:&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.oann.com\/3rd-suspect-charged-in-houston-shooting-deaths-of-nopd-police-officer-and-friend\/\">3rd Suspect Charged In Houston Shooting Deaths Of NOPD Police Officer And Friend<\/a><\/h4>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki holds a press briefing in the Brady Press Briefing Room of the White House in Washington, D.C.
