APEC Summit, Joe Biden and Xi Jinping Meeting
President Joe Biden met with Chinese President Xi Jinping on the sidelines of the APEC summit in Lima, Peru. The meeting occurred as China inaugurated a new $1.3 billion deep-water port in Chancay, signaling its expanding influence in South America. Observers noted the "bad optics" for the U.S., as Biden was positioned in the back of the family photo while Xi appeared as a dominant global leader during Biden's "swan song" tour.
