In a meeting with Xi in San Francisco, Biden said that he raised the concerns of the US regarding China's actions.
US President Joe Biden and his Chinese counterpart Xi Jinping on Wednesday exchanged views on regional and global issues, including Russia's refusal to stop its war against Ukraine. In a meeting with Xi in San Francisco, Biden said that he raised the concerns of the US regarding China's actions, including human rights and coercive activities in the South China Sea.
Addressing a press conference following his meeting with Xi, the US president said, "Today, President Xi and I also exchanged views on a range of regional and global issues, including Russia's refusal to stop the war, brutal war of aggression against Ukraine and conflict in Gaza. As I always do, I raised areas where the United States has concerns about the PRC's actions, including detained and exit-banned US citizens, human rights, and coercive activities in the South China Sea."
"We discussed all three of those things. I gave them names of individuals that we think are being held, and hopefully, we can get them released as well. No agreement on that," Biden said.
