We Asians like to be friends with the USA, but we completely against American's interference in internal affairs of Asian countries. Please stop lecturing us how we should manage our own country.

Pointing the finger at China for abuse of human rights and carbon pollutions and expansionism does not solve the discontentment at home in the UK and US . This does not absolve the west of their past behaviour ie Invasion and Slavery . Slave owners should not accuse others of human rights abuse .

It's nice to see the two leaders of the world two mightiest nation talking peace and reconciliation instead of war.
Let PEACE reign forever.

Mr Biden and Mr Xi meet in Indonesia, a country who its President is promoting world peace. Lets do trade talk not a bullet talk. Give peace a chance...

[keeh]

What Joe Biden say and what Joe Biden does are two different things.

[aznsmileyagain]

The unfounded negativity towards China from the west will always take the overhand.
Promises made by China (building projects in Africa for example, and various international agreements) has always been met since before the uprising of China 30 years ago.
Whereas agreements with the west, USA especially, is a flim of the moment thing.
As soon as the mood of the US changes, or interest, all agreements are nullified.
Exiting Nuclear agreements, environmental agreements or geopolitical agreements (Taiwan as the latest).
Even on international trade competition a dirty move like holding the daughter of Huawei CEO as hostage, and fabricating espionage hardware conspiracy (not proven until today) JUST to slow down Huawei.

Meanwhile CONDEMNING China and Russia for mostly unproven/debunked accusations, while NATO countries and US walk away with crimes committed in Yugoslavia, Bosnia, Congo, Irak, Cuba, Afghanistan, Syria and many many more.
Even the western controlled UN doesn't reflect the opinion of the majority of people in the world.
And to make things worst, the UN doesn't exercise the reason why it is founded.
PREVENT WAR!! Condemning the invasion of Ukraine but not speaking out on the 5 pushes towards Russia, or Israeli expansion (invasion), and again MANY MANY MORE!

So in short, the exchange between these 2 presidents during this meeting holds no meaning whatsoever due to the hypocritical honor less backtracking mentality of the US and the west.

Always prepare for the worst, but give peace a chance

CNA presenter "...Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov, that he is in hospital"
Who reported this? Oh, AP and Reuters, the people who said Saddam Hussein had weapons of mass destruction.

[Featherface]

Don't listen to what they say, look at what they do.

[putrin]

Jayalah country 🇮🇩 in this G20 may the grace of peace, prosperity be created from a great country.

[daoandchayeng]

When there's opportunity for peace, there is hope. Thank you Biden and Xi for taking the initiative to have a peaceful world for our children.

[frankieteo]

This is the happiest moment to watch for the sack of the whole world. Hope everything goes well. God Bless.. and Peace to the World.

[angelosupsup]

Hoping that after conflicts between Ukraine and Russia, hope we start thinking of peace, cooperation...
So happy to see each of our leaders is very optimistic to have peaceful world...

Good to see both the leaders shake their hands. Pl hold tight don't lose the grip. If that happens each other's hand will reach the throat of the other.
