It was the first call between Xi and a US president since the Chinese leader spoke with former President Donald Trump in March last year. The Biden administration will look in coming months at adding ‘new targeted restrictions’ on certain sensitive technology exports to China in cooperation with allies and partners,” the official said. Biden has said his administration has expressed hopes to cooperate with China on policy priorities like climate change. In his CBS interview, Biden stressed the relationship he established with Xi when he was vice president under Barack Obama. Biden said he had had 24-25 hours of private meetings with Xi while vice president and traveled 17,000 miles with him.
