WASHINGTON, Feb 10 (Reuters) - U.S. President Joe Biden
spoke to his Chinese counterpart Xi Jinping on Wednesday, the
White House said, his first direct contact with the leader of
the world's second-largest economy since winning the November
U.S. presidential election and taking office last month.
It was also the first call between Xi and a U.S. president
since the Chinese leader spoke with former President Donald
Trump in March last year. Since then, relations between the two
countries have plunged to their worst level in decades.
