Bloomberg Quicktake published this video item, entitled “Biden Tells China’s Xi That Competition Can’t Veer Into Conflict” – below is their description.

US President Joe Biden and Chinese counterpart Xi Jinping meet ahead of the APEC summit. “We have to ensure that competition does not veer into conflict. And we also have to manage it responsibly,” Biden said as they began talks at an estate south of San Francisco.

Biden and Xi Jinping kicked off their first meeting in more than a year on Wednesday, with hopes of repairing a relationship strained by economic competition and military and diplomatic missteps.

“I’ve always found our discussions straightforward and frank,” Biden said to open their much-anticipated summit in California, acknowledging the difficult conversations ahead. “We have to ensure that competition does not veer into conflict. And we also have to manage it responsibly.”

Xi called the US-China relationship “the most important bilateral relationship in the world.”
