US President Joe Biden talked with his Chinese counterpart Xi Jinping for the first time in seven months, in a call that focused on 'broad and strategic' issues.

In the 90-minute call, Biden warned against misunderstandings that could lead to confrontation between Washington and Beijing, the White House said, while Xi called for a new direction in a relationship beset by "serious difficulties".

During the call, Biden's message was that the United States wants to ensure "we don't have any situation in the future where we veer into unintended conflict," a senior US administration official told reporters. The White House signaled the diplomatic impasse is unsustainable and potentially dangerous, requiring intervention by the leaders in Thursday's call.

"We have not been very satisfied with our interlocutors' behavior," the senior official told reporters. According to a White House readout, Biden and Xi "discussed areas where our interests converge, and areas where our interests, values, and perspectives diverge."Thursday's call focused on "broad and strategic" issues, with no concrete decisions expected on outstanding issues or setting up a first Biden-Xi summit, the official said.
