President Joe Biden and Chinese leader Xi Jinping met to address mounting tensions between their two nations.
The talks come as both countries grapple with a range of military and economic disputes that have strained relations in recent months.
One of the key issues discussed was the military standoff in the South China Sea. The United States has expressed concerns over China’s assertive territorial claims in the region, leading to increased naval patrols and military exercises in the area.
The meeting aimed to find a diplomatic solution to prevent further escalation.
On the economic front, trade disputes and intellectual property theft have been major points of contention.
The Biden administration has accused China of unfair trade practices, while China has retaliated with tariffs and restrictions on American businesses operating within its borders.
The talks were conducted in a cordial atmosphere, with both leaders expressing their commitment to finding common ground. However, significant differences remain, and further negotiations are expected in the coming months. #featured
