Biden and Xi Meet

Politico: “The two leaders shook hands against a backdrop of flags and, in their brief opening remarks, focused on the need to create a foundation for a relationship. … The two men, along with their small team of aides and translators, then disappeared to begin their hours-long meeting.“

Biden quoted by the Washington Post: “I know I’m coming in stronger, but I don’t need that. I know him well. He knows me. There’s no — we have very little misunderstanding. We just got to figure out where the red lines are and what we — what are the most important things to each of us going into the next two years. And his circumstance has changed, to state the obvious, at home.”
