Description

President Joe Biden and China's President Xi Jinping have not sat down for a face-to-face discussion in a year. In that time, Chinese-American relations have become even more tense with the spy balloon incident, the US cracking down on advanced computer chips and the continuing trade war.

Today, we look at why the leaders of the world's two largest economies are meeting and what's at stake for their respective countries.
