The world’s two biggest leaders met after 6 years, will the enmity between America and China end?:

News India Live, Digital Desk : China-US Tensions : Today, the eyes of the whole world were on South Korea, where after a long gap of almost six years, former US President Donald Trump and China’s President Xi Jinping met face to face. This meeting between the two leaders has taken place at a time when relations between America and China are going through their worst phase ever. This meeting is being watched very closely around the world, because its outcome will affect not only these two countries, but also global politics and economy.

Why was this meeting special?

Donald Trump and Xi Jinping last met in 2019. Since then, tensions between the two countries regarding issues like trade, technology and Taiwan increased so much that talks almost stopped. When these two leaders met today, there was a kind of formality in their expressions, but the old warmth seemed missing. The atmosphere during the meeting was very serious and both tried to show the world that they are ready to talk about difficult issues, but also stand firm on their respective positions.

What issues would have been discussed?

Although the complete details of what was discussed in the meeting have not been revealed yet, but experts believe that some big issues would have been at the center of the discussion:

1. Trade and Tariffs: Trump had imposed heavy taxes on China during his tenure, which are still continuing. China wants them to be removed.
2. Taiwan Issue: China considers Taiwan as its part, while America supports it. This is the biggest reason for tension between the two.
3. Tech War: America has banned many Chinese technology companies, due to which China is very angry.
4. Russia-Ukraine War: The stance of both the countries has been different on this issue also.

What will happen next?

It is too early to think that this one meeting will remove the bitterness of years. But this meeting is definitely an indication that the world’s two biggest superpowers want to prevent tensions from escalating further. Now it remains to be seen whether this series of talks between the two countries will move forward in the future or it will remain just a cosmetic meeting.
