Biden and Xi's Deteriorating Relationship

The recent meeting between Biden and Xi Jinping highlights significant tension in U.S.-China relations. Biden claims to be satisfied with the progress made, while Xi's perception is one of relief at Biden's potential departure, believing that he has been duplicitous and has not respected China's established red lines. China has clearly articulated these red lines, indicating their unwillingness to tolerate further uncooperative actions from the U.S., especially under a new Trump administration. The interactions show a deepening frustration from China towards the Biden administration's contradictory stance on cooperation and conflict.
