Biden and Xi meet amid economic and military tensions.

The meeting, which began shortly before 8 p.m. Eastern, was expected to last more than three hours.

Since becoming president, Mr. Biden had previously spoken twice with Mr. Xi, but they have not met in person this year. Administration officials said the virtual meeting was meant to reassure both sides that misunderstandings and miscommunications would not lead to unintended clashes.
