The summit comes amid escalating tensions between two nations

It should be mentioned here that the meeting between two leaders comes amid escalating tensions between two of the world's largest economies over issues including Chinese activity along the Taiwan Strait, Beijing's aggressive behaviour in the Indo-Pacific region, and the US's accusations of human rights violations in China. As per media reports, the virtual meeting opened with President Biden hoping to ensure that the strained ties between both the countries do not "veer into open conflict." Meanwhile, before the virtual summit, Jinping was also quoted by Chinese state media as saying that the US and China needed to engage in 'healthy' relations to combat global challenges like climate change. The leaders also discussed a slew of critical issues that have exacerbated the gap between the two countries.
