The U.S.-China G2 Summit "Bye Bye" was held on the eve of the APEC Summit in San Francisco on November 15-17, symbolizing the thawing of U.S.-China relations and the goodwill to resume communication.

The two giants met in San Francisco on November 15, with about two hours of talks, followed by a working luncheon, a walk around the manor, and smaller talks that lasted about four hours.

The "Biden-Xiwei Meeting" is undoubtedly the focus of global attention at this APEC meeting. U.S. President Joe Biden said that both sides must be responsible to ensure that competition does not turn into conflict, while Chinese President Xi Jinping emphasized that China and the U.S. should strengthen solidarity and cooperation, and avoid a zero-sum mentality.

The U.S.-China G2 Summit, in addition to breaking the most tense impasse in the history of relations between the two countries, restarting bilateral talks, easing the tense competitive relationship, and reaching a consensus on bilateral cooperation, has not dampened the expectations of the outside world for this meeting, despite the fact that there is still no consensus on issues that divide the two countries, such as the situation in the Taiwan Strait, economic and trade sanctions, and the technological siege. In this meeting, both sides agreed to start a dialog, you can call each other directly, and the other side will answer immediately.
