Made a comment the other day on the Biden, Xi
meeting, that we were still in the driver's seat and Biden's response would indicate where we are.
I am not a diplomat and can't gather all the nuance, but Xi knows he has more in the game he can't walk away from.
Biden had to acknowledge this and agree to personal discussions.
Xi knows we know the consequences of war and are opposed to engage.
It is left to an amicable relationship, according to Xi, that there is room enough on the planet for both.
I had an international friend explain to me about NAFTA, that it was going to happen, regardless. Best to manage than be managed.
That is what we face. Tired as he was, Biden faced the press.
Be aware, that is who we face. I'd rather Biden and his team than the alternative by a long shot.
