President Biden met with Chinese President Xi Jinping in Bali, Indonesia, today for their first in-person talks since Biden took office. The meeting took place ahead of the G20 summit and amid increasing tensions between the two countries over Taiwan, the war in Ukraine and technology. President Xi pledged to hold “candid” talks with Biden, saying, “The world has come to a crossroads.” Biden expressed similar sentiments. We’ll have more on the Biden-Xi meeting later in the broadcast.

In between his appearances at COP27 and the G20 summit, Biden was in Cambodia on Saturday to address the Association of Southeast Asian Nations. Biden’s visit to the ASEAN Summit came as human rights groups warned Southeast Asian leaders have done little to challenge Burma’s military rulers, who seized power in a February 2021 coup.
