XI and bidges: A historical meeting in Lima - future of relationships?

Lima, Peru - in a dramatic meeting in Lima, Peru, China's head of state XI Jinping made it clear that he also wants to work with a future US government under Donald Trump. Despite the tense relationships between the two largest economies in the world in the past four years, XI has described bilateral conditions as stable overall. He emphasized the need to maintain communication and overcome differences in order to make progress. "If we treat ourselves as a partner, we can get together together," said XI.

The meeting between XI and the outgoing President Joe Biden was the first personal meeting in a year. Biden, which is proud of the progress in military communication and cooperation in the field of artificial intelligence, warned of the dangers of a conflict. "It is about competition, not about conflict," said Biden, while he emphasized the importance of open conversations for avoiding misunderstandings. But the shadows of Trump's announced tariffs on Chinese goods and the unclear future of US politics throw a dark shadow on the conversations.
