Biden-Xi virtual summit: Biden says US and China must 'not veer into conflict'

US president Joe Biden has told Chinese leader Xi Jinping that he hoped to have a candid conversation about human rights and security issues as the two began a meeting meant to lower tensions between the two global superpowers. Biden added that the two leaders must make sure their relations do not veer into open conflict, including by installing ‘common sense’ guardrails. Biden spoke with Xi over a video conference as the two leaders engaged in their most extensive talks since Biden became president in January. Xi said the two sides must increase communication and cooperation to solve the many challenges they face.

Xi: You see, I am talking to you without a script.
Biden: But I am proud of a scripted talk.

[zacky]

Xi: we should collaborate.
Biden: just competition.

[funzone]

[occamselectricrazor]

wouldn't want to jeopardize that 10% for the big guy

[amornaocorrespondido]

After 5 minutes, sleepy Joe will forget the meeting and go back to playing war games in the China south sea🤣🤣🤣🤣

I am glad China insist on an open and public discussion. Apparently, China and Russia do not trust US or even the US media in conveying what is said in the summit without redactions and content omissions.

Our economy works to serve the rich at the expense of the poor.

_What is thy bidding, my master?_
Biden to Xi Jinping

I wish from the Chinese president and the government to restore Taiwan and annex it to its basic surroundings, as Russia did with Ukraine

[stuglenn]

Let's be honest Putin and Xi are playing 3D chess, Brandon can't even grasp checkers.

[kevinhong]

No evaluation is made on American administrative personnel, but American science and technology, key technical talents and supporting facilities are undoubtedly worthy of our continued ordinary technician from China

Imagine interpreting Joe Biden with a terrible translator. Goes about as well as you'd expect.

[Facts..Checker]

I am more interested with the attitude, reaction and behavior of lapdogs after the meeting.

[joymukherjee]

FOR THIS TYPE OF LENIENCY WHITE HOUSE WOULD BE PAYING A VERY HIGH PRICE IN THE FUTURE.

[suesue]

This looks like some things are edited out.

[sandman]

US president should not be like Jim Carrey the comedian, they should be like Clint Eastwood the heroic actor.

So you can do this virtually but had to fly a fleet of cars and private jets to be at a climate conference in person where you fell asleep?
