But much has changed since those friendly, exploratory meetings, a time when Biden said the US did not fear but welcomed China’s rise. Then differences over human rights and trade could be more easily addressed behind broader consensus on issues such as the need to promote economic recovery from the 2008 financial crash and the fight against terrorism. During his ten years in power Xi Jinping has proven to be a more ruthless, authoritarian and nationalistic leader than expected, determined to restore his country as a world power and resist US efforts to contain and encircle China , maybe....
