Opinion Today: Biden and Xi are meeting today. What’s next for the U.S. and China?

A look at a more open past is sobering, but we can only move forward.

Those negotiations can easily break down when one party unilaterally adjusts those terms — quickly through the use of force, for instance, or more slowly, through economic or demographic changes. The trick always is to keep the peace as much as possible. One of the most consequential negotiations over the terms of coexistence is well underway between the world’s most powerful nations: the United States and China. Presidents Biden and Xi Jinping will meet in San Francisco today, on the sides of an Asian economic summit, to discuss ways in which the two nations can live with each other. One glimmer of good news for the talks is that relations are at such a low point that any progress is notable progress.

There is a sense from them, she writes, that the China they knew has changed beyond recognition. “A melancholy camaraderie filled the room,” she writes. “It felt like the end of an era.” But Biden and Xi come to San Francisco not to bury the relationship in a flurry of new tariffs, saber rattling and threats. All of that has been tried in the past few years, and few people are better off for it. A new era is upon us and it begins with mutual acceptance.

The moment calls for sober and practical negotiations around issues of mutual concern: fentanyl, nuclear weapons and renewables, for starters. With far bigger concerns weighing on their minds (the Middle East and Ukraine for Biden; economic stability for Xi), it is in the interests of both nations to postpone more contentious topics for another day. It behooves readers to temper their own expectations around the future of the China-U.S. relationship. Unreasonableness is rocket fuel for demagogues who promise that China can be beaten or brought to heel or isolated, or that the United States is hopelessly mismanaged, overextended or in terminal decline ([fist-fighting congressmen](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRnN0ZGP4QUAWh0dHBzOi8vd3d3Lm5iY25ld3MuY29tL3BvbGl0aWNzL2NvbmdyZXNzL3N0YW5kLWJ1dHQtZmlzdGZpZ2h0LW5lYXJseS1icmVha3Mtc2VuYXRlLWhlYXJpbmctYmVybmllLXNhbmRlcnMtc3RlcHMtcmNuYTEyNTE0MD9jYW1wYWlnbl9pZD0zOSZlbWM9ZWRpdF90eV8yMDIzMTExNSZpbnN0YW5jZV9pZD0xMDc3ODUmbmw9b3Bpbmlvbi10b2RheSZyZWdpX2lkPTc3Njc0OTUyJnNlZ21lbnRfaWQ9MTUwMTE0JnRlPTEmdXNlcl9pZD1hYTQ5MWVmN2YxZDk2NGU0OTc5ZmI3ODRlNzRlMDFkN1cDbnl0QgplU0bBVGWxwcwWUht0cmlzdHJhbWJhbGR3aW45MEBnbWFpbC5jb21YBAAAAAM~) on the verge of shutting down the government notwithstanding).
