The call comes at a time when some experts worry House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s potential Taiwan visit could spur a major crisis even as others downplay the idea.
Taiwan comprised a key part of the more than two-hour discussion, according to a senior US official, who declined to say if Biden and Xi directly broached the topic of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's yet-to-be-confirmed visit to the island amid spiralling tensions. Some analysts say there was no tangible progress during the phone call, with the focus now shifting to a planned in-person summit between the US and Chinese leaders. Some also say the military risks are real, but unlikely to rise to the level of war.
“The main point is not in Pelosi coming to Taiwan, but it’s to look at how the US and China effectively control the risks that may arise,” Wang said.
