Listen Later

Xi Jinping and Joe Biden met face-to-face for their first time as national leaders. Both men spoke about feeling the eyes of the world on them. What does the world need from this relationship?

The Economist’s Banyan columnist Dominic Zeigler analyses how their relationship impacts South-East Asia.
