Panda Diplomacy

There will be a major meeting in the Bay Area next week. The World will be watching. Presidents Biden and Xi will sit down, face to face, in a significant engagement for the top economic powers. It will be the first and only in-person meeting for these two leaders this year. They last met at the G20 Summit in Bali in November, a year ago. The perceived desired outcome is "Competition, not confrontation". That's the set-up in San Francisco.
