In the past week, China has reacted strongly to US top politician Nancy Pelosi’s plans to visit Taiwan. Although Taiwan is in practice self-governing, the Chinese authorities consider the island to be part of China. The conversation between Biden and Xi lasted 2 hours and 17 minutes, according to the White House. At the forefront, Taiwan, the economy, trade and the war in Ukraine were expected to be on the agenda. (NTB)
