US President Joe Biden and his Chinese counterpart Xi Jinping met in San Francisco on Wednesday. They are there for a summit of the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC). The conversation has been eagerly awaited for some time.
Biden and Xi shake hands for the first time in a year. They last spoke at a G20 summit in November 2022. It has been six years for Xi since he was in the United States. Photo: AFP The relationship between the US and China is equally tense, partly due to the Chinese partial support for Russia’s war in Ukraine and Chinese threats against Taiwan. Both sides are trying to improve diplomatic relations. Photo: AFP Biden called it “crucial” that the US and China understand each other. Xi agreed, saying both countries bear a great responsibility to the rest of the world. According to Biden, it is therefore important that the competition between the two countries does not lead to a conflict. Photo: AFP That these conflicts exist was clear from the number of demonstrators. They protested against Xi and China.Photo: AFP15 Nov 2023 at 10:28 PM
