Nearly all of the some 600,000 children now crammed into Rafah are either injured, sick, malnourished, traumatised or living with disabilities.” 19 hours ago

Virtual meeting between Joe Biden and Xi Jinping - Considerations

Page with all the IPSEs stored in the archive related to the Context Virtual meeting between Joe Biden and Xi Jinping - Considerations.
The IPSEs are presented in chronological order based on when the IPSEs have been pronounced.

“For Xi Jinping, the summit was about bolstering his international credentials ahead of his unprecedented third term next year. For Joe Biden, it was about managing voter sentiment ahead of next year's mid-term elections and allying American allies' fears of increasing international disorder. In other words, they needed to take a breather from what Biden called 'extreme competition' to attend to their respective needs, while having an opportunity to size up the other side through the summit.”

“[straightforward competition is] Just a fancy way of saying the US administration doesn't want any accidental war or military confrontation. But for now, these terms have also become placeholders for the administration's lack of an actual China strategy.”

“Although we can't see each other face to face, this is not bad, either. I feel very happy to see my old friend. Humanity lives in a global village and we face multiple challenges together. China and the US need to increase communication and cooperation.”

“It seems to me we need to establish some common sense guardrails, to be clear and honest where we disagree, and work together where our interests intersect, especially on vital global issues like climate change. And I think it's very important, as I've told other world leaders when they ask about our relationship, is that we have always communicated with one another - with one another very honestly and candidly. We never walk away wondering what the other man is thinking.”

“Current trends in the US, with more focused security 'guarantees' to Taiwan (if implicit), are a major impediment to China succeeding in convincing Taiwan that it has no choice but to capitulate. Xi [Xi Jinping] will therefore seek signals [from Biden] which can be exploited for such propaganda efforts; whether Biden will give him that is very much in question. I doubt that he will.”

“China is willing to work with the US to reduce the risks in the situation in the Taiwan Straits, but history tells us that the only thing the US really cares about is talks through strength. China will have to fight and have a dialogue with the US at the same time. We hope that the US side will participate in the video summit with some sincerity and it will promote the solution to the problems to ease the highly tense China-US relations, instead of putting the priority on getting tough on China to satisfy such a need in the US society. The whole world is now worried about the further deterioration of China-US relations, and the key to turning the situation around is to change the US' belligerent policy toward China.”

“I believe the Taiwan question would be the top priority of the upcoming meeting, and we will reaffirm our basic position on the question while sounding a warning to the US, and urging it to act in a restrained way. However, the two sides are unlikely to reach any consensus on this question as there is still strong motivation inside the US government to continue playing the Taiwan card, which is seen as one of Washington's most useful leverages against Beijing.”

“Both Biden and Xi are worried by the risk of a military incident escalating. Biden knows that the tools for prevention and crisis management are rusty, so we should expect him to push to put in place safeguards or 'guardrails' to reduce risk. The Sept. 9 call between the presidents began with Xi listing complaints, but ended with a constructive agreement for officials to continue discussions. This suggests that the personal relationship Biden built with Xi a decade ago is still strong, and that each conversation can add some stability to the mix.”
