Biden warns Xi against helping Russia as US-China relations face 'crossroads' over Ukraine invasion

WASHINGTON – President Joe Biden took office framing this moment in geopolitics as a battle between autocracy and democracy – casting China as the chief authoritarian threat on the world stage. 

More than a year later, Russia's invasion of Ukraine has magnified the question of China's role in the world, and it has worsened tensions between Washington and Beijing.

The chilly U.S.-Chinese relationship may face its biggest test as the United States turns up pressure on China to take a stand against Russia in the largest land conflict in Europe since World War II.

Biden warned Chinese President Xi Jinping of the "consequences if China provides material support to Russia" in its unprovoked attack on Ukraine during a nearly two-hour video call Friday, according to the White House.
