“Old acquaintances” who spent 30 hours together as vice president and vice president
On November 14 (local time), President Xi Jinping and President Biden held their first face-to-face summit in Bali, Indonesia, where the G20 summit is held. It was the first time in three years and five months that a face-to-face meeting was held between the leaders of the United States and China. The markets and public opinion are extremely interested in whether or not the meeting will take place, which will have a profound impact on future world events.
In fact, these two are old acquaintances from when they were vice presidents and vice presidents. For example, when Mr. Biden visited China in 2011, Mr. Xi accompanied him to Sichuan Province, visited tourist attractions together, and played basketball with high school students. We also have dinner together. Mr. Xi also met with Mr. Biden when he visited the United States in 2012. The two met at least eight times before Xi assumed the presidency in March 2013 and reportedly talked for about 30 hours.
Mr. Biden went to Mr. Xi’s lodgings for this meeting, but trotted over to the location where Mr. Xi was waiting and pointed out that he was an old acquaintance of Mr. Xi at the start of the meeting. And Mr. Biden seems to have wanted to appeal to the background that the two are intimate anyway.
When it comes to relations between nations, especially between the two world powers of the United States and China, the “personal” relationship between leaders is an element that cannot be overlooked. There is the concept of “ultimate diplomacy” and it depends on how well leaders, who represent their nations and embody their national interests, deal with each other after getting to know each other’s personalities, views on life and worldviews as individuals. negotiations and the outcome of the talks may change.
My summary is that this Xi-Biden meeting, which was the first time we met as presidents and presidents, was no exception.
