The last time Xi met a US leader was Donald Trump in 2019.The relationship between the world's biggest economies has deteriorated since Biden took office over the economic competition, human rights issues and rising tensions between China and Taiwan.Washington and Beijing are at loggerheads over issues ranging from trade to human rights in China's Xinjiang region and the status of the self-ruled island of Taiwan.( With inputs from ANI )Disclaimer: This post has been auto-published from an agency feed without any modifications to the text and has not been reviewed by an editor
