U.S. President Biden Warned Chinese President Xi That U.S. Corporations Will Withdraw From China If Beijing Behaves Like Russia

NPR: Biden Told Xi That Massive U.S. Corporate Withdrawal Might Be China’s Future

President Biden pulled back the curtain on one of his telephone conversations with General Secretary Xi Jinping, saying in an interview that he highlighted the massive U.S. corporate withdrawal from Russia as something that might be in China’s future.

Biden spoke yesterday with PBS’s Judy Woodruff following his Tuesday State of the Union address.
