In my latest editorial for CGTN, I examine what took place during the virtual summit between presidents Xi and Biden.
Such “a cordial and engaging demeanor” is a sign of progress in the often ice cold relationship between the countries. One is left to wonder what U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken thought as he sat close to President Biden and heard warmhearted (and, yes, at times frank) words. It was Secretary Blinken who set the administration’s relationship with China on the wrong foot with the diatribe he delivered at the Anchorage gathering earlier this year.
