The meeting between the leaders of the United States and China was not a breakthrough. But it’s good that they saw each other and spoke after that in a more or less restrained positive tone.

Russian opposition politician Gennady Gudkov told Channel 24 about this, noting that the meeting between Biden and Xi was aimed at a certain normalization of relations between the United States and China. Therefore, no breakthrough decisions were made there.

The world is already bipolar

As Gudkov noted, the meeting between Biden and Xi demonstrated that the world is still gradually dividing into two opposing camps: those who are for democracy and those who are for authoritarian regimes. However, now there is a certain peaceful coexistence. You can't call it very stable, but it is there.

The normalization of relations between the United States and China indicates that a period without another world war will follow. At least it is postponed for an indefinitely long future. Of course, if Russia doesn’t start this war,” Gudkov said.

One should not expect much from the meeting between the leaders of the United States and China. But this is one of the steps that will help establish dialogue in the future.

I didn't expect much from this meeting. The visit happened. He was helpful. There is an opportunity for further dialogue. These are the results of the meeting,” Gudkov believes.

Meeting between Biden and Xi: briefly

• On November 15, Xi Jinping met with Joe Biden in San Francisco. Everything happened at the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation forum.
• The leaders of the United States and China agreed that competition between countries must be healthy and responsible so that it does not escalate into a global conflict. In the end, Biden noted that the meeting was constructive. Xi Jinping also reacted in a restrained and positive manner.
• Despite this, Joe Biden said that he still considers Xi a dictator. All because he runs a communist country.
