Xi-Biden meeting seen as putting rocky relations back on course, though main differences remain

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 03:55:26 GMT

TAIPEI, Taiwan (AP) — Perhaps just shaking hands and sitting down together can be enough sometimes. At their four-hour meeting Wednesday, U.S. President Joe Biden and his Chinese counterpart Xi Jinping didn’t resolve any of the vital geopolitical issues dividing the world’s two largest economies and chief rivals for global influence, but they struck a conciliatory tone that came as a relief to other countries, especially China’s neighbors. The two leaders met at a northern California country estate, holding talks, lunching and taking a garden stroll designed to show that while the two countries are global competitors, they’re not locked in a winner-take-all faceoff.“Planet Earth is big enough for the two countries to succeed,” Xi told Biden.Biden emphasized the need to avoid miscommunication. “We have to ensure competition does not veer into conflict,” he said. The leaders’ first face-to-face encounter in a year appears to have put a floor under a relat...
