We’re covering China-U.S. efforts to thaw a chill, and New Zealand’s spiraling housing market. Officials in Washington and Beijing have acknowledged the need to arrest the free fall in relations.Greg Baker/Agence France-Presse — Getty Images Xi meets with Blinken Antony Blinken, the U.S. secretary of state, met with Xi Jinping, China’s leader, as the two countries [try to pull relations out of a deep chill](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRmc0cKP4QBAWh0dHBzOi8vd3d3Lm55dGltZXMuY29tLzIwMjMvMDYvMTgvd29ybGQvYXNpYS9ibGlua2VuLWNoaW5hLXhpLWRpcGxvbWFjeS5odG1sP2NhbXBhaWduX2lkPTcmZW1jPWVkaXRfbWJhZV8yMDIzMDYyMCZpbnN0YW5jZV9pZD05NTUyMCZubD1tb3JuaW5nLWJyaWVmaW5nJTNBLWFzaWEtcGFjaWZpYy1lZGl0aW9uJnJlZ2lfaWQ9Nzc2NzQ5NTImc2VnbWVudF9pZD0xMzYxMjMmdGU9MSZ1c2VyX2lkPWFhNDkxZWY3ZjFkOTY0ZTQ5NzlmYjc4NGU3NGUwMWQ3VwNueXRCCmR4CsKQZM25e59SG3RyaXN0cmFtYmFsZHdpbjkwQGdtYWlsLmNvbVgEAAAAAA~~) that has raised global concerns about the growing risk of a conflict between them. The talks show that both countries recognize the stakes of their rivalry. Xi’s decision to meet with Blinken indicated that he was uncomfortable with the escalation in tensions. He struck a congenial note at the top of their 35-minute meeting, praising the two sides for making progress on some unspecified issues during Blinken’s two-day visit to China. “This is very good,” Xi said. But he also hinted at grievances, saying that he hoped Blinken would “make more positive contributions to stabilizing China-U.S. relations.” Blinken, who is the first American secretary of state to visit Beijing since 2018, said that he pushed for “direct engagement and sustained communication at senior levels.” He said that he pressed China to open a military-to-military communications channel — which the U.S. argues is critical for avoiding crises in the seas and airspace around China — but was rebuffed. The Blinken-Xi meeting could set the stage for a meeting between Xi and President Biden. But it is unclear whether high-level diplomacy can change the trajectory of relations. Differences: The rivals also sought to demonstrate that they were not compromising on core issues. Their disagreements include Taiwan, the Chinese military’s growing footprint, the development of advanced technologies, Russia’s war in Ukraine and human rights. The view from China: Pressure may be mounting on Beijing to stabilize ties because of [China’s worsening economy](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRmc0cKP4QDAWh0dHBzOi8vd3d3Lm55dGltZXMuY29tLzIwMjMvMDYvMTkvYnVzaW5lc3MvZWNvbm9teS9jaGluYS1lY29ub215LXN0aW11bHVzLmh0bWw_Y2FtcGFpZ25faWQ9NyZlbWM9ZWRpdF9tYmFlXzIwMjMwNjIwJmluc3RhbmNlX2lkPTk1NTIwJm5sPW1vcm5pbmctYnJpZWZpbmclM0EtYXNpYS1wYWNpZmljLWVkaXRpb24mcmVnaV9pZD03NzY3NDk1MiZzZWdtZW50X2lkPTEzNjEyMyZ0ZT0xJnVzZXJfaWQ9YWE0OTFlZjdmMWQ5NjRlNDk3OWZiNzg0ZTc0ZTAxZDdXA255dEIKZHgKwpBkzbl7n1IbdHJpc3RyYW1iYWxkd2luOTBAZ21haWwuY29tWAQAAAAA).

The failed plot represented a brazen expansion of President Vladimir Putin’s campaign of targeted assassinations and led, in part, to expulsions of the C.I.A.’s chief in Moscow and his Russian counterpart in Washington.

House prices there soared almost 50 percent during the pandemic as people took advantage of low mortgage rates and relaxed lending rules. But in November 2021, the central bank began one of the most aggressive rate-tightening cycles in the world to tackle rising inflation. Since then, prices have fallen 17.5 percent, eradicating more than $6 billion in household wealth, according to some estimates. Background: Housing has traditionally been in short supply and of poor quality. Homes in New Zealand are among the least affordable in the world.
