China’s President Xi Jinping, speaking on this occasion, said “we should find the right development direction for the improvement of bilateral relations. Politicians should think about both their own country’s devt path and the way to get along with other countries and the world.”
Experts say the US-China superpower sitdown, on the sidelines of the G20 summit, will be the first face-to-face between the pair since Biden took office.
