The overall assessment of the historic summit between Xi Jinping and Joe Biden seems to have been positive. There was a softness in Biden’s tone, and Xi seemed happy during and after their long meeting. However, there were sticking points. Joe Biden described the Chinese leader as a dictator during a press conference. And according to the US side, Xi Jinping is still posing a threat to Taiwan. In this podcast, Professor Christopher Tang at the UCLA Anderson School of Management, offers his appraisal to regular host, Duncan Bartlett.
