The two leaders met virtually, but one of them clearly had the upper hand.
President Joe Biden spoke for several hours with Chinese President Xi Jinping earlier this week in a virtual meeting. The fact that the U.S. president requested the meeting may be a signal that the power dynamic between the two countries has shifted in Chinaâs favor.
If anything, the meeting was a good opportunity for Biden to reassert Americaâs standing in the world, not kowtow to a communist dictator recently given the green light to serve as president-for-life by the Chinese Communist Party.
