Summary/Abstract: The leaders of the U.S. and China met on the sidelines of the G20 summit on the Indonesian island of Bali. President Joe Biden and Chairman Xi Jinping’s primary goal was to ease tensions between the two countries. Although there has been no significant change in the relationship between the states, a revival of high-level direct communication and sectoral dialogue may help reduce the risk of conflict over Taiwan. The parties agreed to return to talks suspended after House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s visit to Taiwan, including discussions on combating climate change, and they agreed that U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken would visit Beijing to continue the talks.
