#shorts On 4/10/2023, a reporter asked White House John Kirby, “Moving to the tension between China and Taiwan, we know the President can pick up the phone anytime and call President Xi. We’ve been told that this call is coming for months. Why hasn’t he just picked up the phone and called President Xi to say knock it off?

MR. KIRBY: The President looks forward to having another conversation with President Xi. And we’ll do that at the appropriate time, and we’ll certainly keep you apprised of that. It’s important that those lines of communication stay open.

The tensions are certainly high right now. We’d like to see this relationship get onto a better footing. And when it’s appropriate for the two leaders to talk, then — then that’ll happen.

I want to stress — that said — that we are and have been able to maintain lines of communication between our two countries, even throughout all these tensions.
