The summit itself was a long time coming, given that Mr. Xi has not been able to travel abroad owing to the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, and Mr. Biden entered office around that time too. Further, in March 2021, at a meeting in Anchorage, Alaska, between senior officials from both countries, a heated exchange ensued after U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken said that without the rules-based international order there would be a \u201cmuch more violent world\u201d and that Chinese activities in Xinjiang, Hong Kong, and Taiwan, threaten that order, and were not internal matters. In that context, it is unsurprising that even though the summit meeting yielded no major <strong>breakthroughs (A productive insight)<\/strong>, Beijing was quick to claim a diplomatic victory, with Chinese state media <strong>proclaiming (State or announce)<\/strong>, \u201cBiden reiterates he doesn\u2019t support Taiwan independence.\u201d Such messaging is almost certainly directed towards a domestic audience given that Mr. Xi is consolidating power to secure a third term for himself, a process that will culminate next year in the CPC\u2019s 20th Congress.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At the top of the policy agenda that is causing bilateral friction is trade. After the <strong>bruising (Brutally forceful and compelling) <\/strong>trade war with China prior to 2020, under a Trump White House, relief came in the form of the Phase 1 Trade Agreement, which requires that China buy $380 billion worth of American goods by the end of 2021. That has not happened, according to some analysts, in part owing to a shortfall in orders from Beijing for Boeing aircraft in view of the aviation slowdown. Yet, compromise may not be far away in this space, as the U.S. Trade Representative hinted that the Trump-era practice of permitting exemptions for certain goods from trade tariffs may be resumed. On Taiwan\u2019s independence, while the U.S. post-summit <strong>readouts (The information displayed or recorded on an electronic device) <\/strong>suggest that Washington is adhering to its long-standing policy in this matter \u2014 that it acknowledges but does not recognise Beijing\u2019s claim over Taiwan under the One China policy \u2014 the Chinese side indicated that Mr. Xi said, \u201cIt is <strong>playing with fire (take foolish risks)<\/strong>&#8230;..\u201d Such comments likely signal that China will respond robustly to any western moves seen as strengthening Taiwanese independence, for example through direct arms sales to Taipei. Both sides will have to be even-handed in managing their conflicts on trade and regional tensions or else risk these issues spilling over into the global arena and disrupting the <strong>fragile (Easily damaged) <\/strong>ongoing recovery in economic growth and public health.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.practicemock.com\/exams\/banking\/sbi-po\/?refcode=3114&amp;utm_source=Blog_The+Hindu+Editorial+Vocabulary%E2%80%93+Nov+19%2C+2021%3B+Day+183_191121_SBIPM&amp;utm_medium=Link&amp;utm_campaign=SBIPM\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.practicemock.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/SBI_PO_270821-1024x128.jpg\" alt=\"SBI_PO_Free Mock\" class=\"wp-image-7629\"\/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Want to improve your vocabulary further?\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.practicemock.com\/blog\/vocabulary\/the-hindu-editorial-vocabulary-download-free-pdf\/\">Download the Lists of Word-Meanings of Previous Months here<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Improve Your vocabulary with the help of these editorial-anlyses which we publish on a daily basis.
