The much-anticipated meet between US President Joe Biden and Chinese President Xi Jinping has concluded. Detailing the progress, the two leaders had made, President Joe Biden addressed the media, saying both nations have agreed to resume military-to-military communication and cooperate on anti-drug policies.

Why is US so engaged in pacific, asks Xi Jinping

The recent meeting between President Joe Biden and President Xi Jinping highlighted the importance of their relationship amid global challenges. Both leaders acknowledged the need for better coordination and discussed various issues, including trade, Beijing's relationship with Iran, human rights concerns, Taiwan, the South China Sea, the Israel-Hamas war, Russia's invasion of Ukraine, North Korea, and economic competition.

Joe Biden and Xi Jinping agrees to resume military communication

US President Joe Biden affirmed on Wednesday (Nov 15), that he still considers Chinese President Xi Jinping a dictator, a characterisation that may strain relations despite reported progress in their meeting outside San Francisco.

“Well, look, he’s a dictator in the sense that he is a guy who runs a country that is a communist country that’s based on a form of government totally different than ours,” Biden told CNN.

“Anyway, we made progress,” he said.&nbsp;&nbsp;

Biden acknowledged the ideological differences, describing Xi as a leader of a communist country.&nbsp;

Biden drew attention to Xi's reaction when a Chinese spy balloon was shot down over the US, emphasising the embarrassment faced by dictators when uninformed about such incidents.

This historical comparison, made during an off-camera campaign reception in California, sparked a swift and angry response from Beijing in June. The Chinese foreign ministry criticised Biden's remarks, stating they contradicted facts, violated diplomatic etiquette, and infringed on China's political dignity.

<h2>Potential impact on positive developments</h2>

The recent comment, categorising Xi as a dictator, has the potential to undermine the constructive discussions highlighted by Biden in their meeting.

Xi, on the other hand, has urged the United States to refrain from suppressing or containing China, emphasising the importance of mutual understanding, peaceful coexistence, and open communication.
