President Joe Biden and Chinese President Xi Jinping met in San Francisco in a summit that was a year in the making. The meeting fell short of providing a lasting basis for anything beyond a willingness to keep talking and avoid conflict. Xi's remarks were less critical and nationalistic than in the past, reflecting China's difficult economic conditions. Despite some productive aspects, an offhand remark by Biden could set back the relationship that the two leaders were working to mend.

Xi Jinping's remarks at the APEC summit, both in public and in his meeting with Joe Biden, were less critical and nationalistic than at times in the past. The softer tone comes as China is facing its most difficult economic conditions in decades. https://t.co/WDeWKYUP8s
