[President Biden and President Xi Jinping of China shake hands in front of a large door.] President Biden and President Xi Jinping in California yesterday. Doug Mills/The New York Times Biden meets with Xi President Biden and President Xi Jinping of China shook hands at the entrance of a grand estate set in the hills of California yesterday as they began their first meeting in a year. “To host you in the United States is a great honor and a pleasure,” Biden told the Chinese leader. “Planet Earth is big enough” for both superpowers, Xi said. He told Biden that their countries were very different but that they should be “fully capable of rising above differences.” “I firmly believe in the promising future of the bilateral relationship,” he said. The two nations have spiraled into their worst relationship in four decades, and Biden’s primary goal was simple: Find a way to keep an increasingly bitter competition with China from tipping into conflict. No joint statement was expected after the meeting. U.S. officials said each government would provide its own account of the discussions.

Al-Shifa Hospital has become central to Israel’s effort to wrest control of Gaza from Hamas. Its capture by Israel was a significant step that could shape the pace and extent of its war with Hamas. Israeli officers said they had found rifles, ammunition, body armor and other military equipment in a radiology building. The assertions could not be independently verified. Hamas, which has repeatedly denied using the hospital for military operations, issued a statement calling the Israeli claims “a fabricated story that no one would believe.” [Here’s the latest.](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRnN8Z_P0T9aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cubnl0aW1lcy5jb20vbGl2ZS8yMDIzLzExLzE1L3dvcmxkL2lzcmFlbC1oYW1hcy13YXItZ2F6YS1uZXdzP2NhbXBhaWduX2lkPTcmZW1jPWVkaXRfbWJhZV8yMDIzMTExNSZpbnN0YW5jZV9pZD0xMDc4MjUmbmw9bW9ybmluZy1icmllZmluZyUzQS1hc2lhLXBhY2lmaWMtZWRpdGlvbiZyZWdpX2lkPTc3Njc0OTUyJnNlZ21lbnRfaWQ9MTUwMTUxJnRlPTEmdXNlcl9pZD1hYTQ5MWVmN2YxZDk2NGU0OTc5ZmI3ODRlNzRlMDFkN1cDbnl0QgplU39BVWW81-QfUht0cmlzdHJhbWJhbGR3aW45MEBnbWFpbC5jb21YBAAAAAM~) Inside Al-Shifa: Mahmoud, [a witness who said he was on the fourth floor of a surgical building](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRnN8Z_P4RfAWh0dHBzOi8vd3d3Lm55dGltZXMuY29tL2xpdmUvMjAyMy8xMS8xNS93b3JsZC9pc3JhZWwtaGFtYXMtd2FyLWdhemEtbmV3cy9hLXdpdG5lc3MtZGVzY3JpYmVzLWEtdGVuc2UtZmVhcmZ1bC1zY2VuZS1pbi1hbC1zaGlmYS1ob3NwaXRhbC1hcy1pc3JhZWxpcy1tb3ZlLWluP2NhbXBhaWduX2lkPTcmZW1jPWVkaXRfbWJhZV8yMDIzMTExNSZpbnN0YW5jZV9pZD0xMDc4MjUmbmw9bW9ybmluZy1icmllZmluZyUzQS1hc2lhLXBhY2lmaWMtZWRpdGlvbiZyZWdpX2lkPTc3Njc0OTUyJnNlZ21lbnRfaWQ9MTUwMTUxJnNtaWQ9dXJsLXNoYXJlJnRlPTEmdXNlcl9pZD1hYTQ5MWVmN2YxZDk2NGU0OTc5ZmI3ODRlNzRlMDFkN1cDbnl0QgplU39BVWW81-QfUht0cmlzdHJhbWJhbGR3aW45MEBnbWFpbC5jb21YBAAAAAM~), described an atmosphere of confusion, tension and fear.

A Morning Read How do you get orcas to leave your boat alone? Renaud de Stephanis Orcas have been disrupting the journeys of boats along the coastlines of the Iberian Peninsula, even sinking a handful of them. As researchers watch, mystified by the behavior, boat crews are trying anything they can think of to steer clear of them. Some even tried blasting heavy metal. [The orcas disabled the boat anyway.](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRnN8Z_P0T9aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cubnl0aW1lcy5jb20vMjAyMy8xMS8xNS93b3JsZC9ldXJvcGUvb3JjYXMtYXR0YWNrcy1ib2F0cy5odG1sP2NhbXBhaWduX2lkPTcmZW1jPWVkaXRfbWJhZV8yMDIzMTExNSZpbnN0YW5jZV9pZD0xMDc4MjUmbmw9bW9ybmluZy1icmllZmluZyUzQS1hc2lhLXBhY2lmaWMtZWRpdGlvbiZyZWdpX2lkPTc3Njc0OTUyJnNlZ21lbnRfaWQ9MTUwMTUxJnRlPTEmdXNlcl9pZD1hYTQ5MWVmN2YxZDk2NGU0OTc5ZmI3ODRlNzRlMDFkN1cDbnl0QgplU39BVWW81-QfUht0cmlzdHJhbWJhbGR3aW45MEBnbWFpbC5jb21YBAAAAAM~) (In case you’re curious, [here’s the “Metal for Orcas” playlist](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRnN8Z_P4QGAWh0dHBzOi8vb3Blbi5zcG90aWZ5LmNvbS9wbGF5bGlzdC83ZWQzbEdKeTdEeHdHQjREMlNTTVNnP2NhbXBhaWduX2lkPTcmZW1jPWVkaXRfbWJhZV8yMDIzMTExNSZpbnN0YW5jZV9pZD0xMDc4MjUmbmQ9MSZubD1tb3JuaW5nLWJyaWVmaW5nJTNBLWFzaWEtcGFjaWZpYy1lZGl0aW9uJnJlZ2lfaWQ9Nzc2NzQ5NTImc2VnbWVudF9pZD0xNTAxNTEmc2k9OGYyODZmNjc2ZGNlNDc1NCZ0ZT0xJnVzZXJfaWQ9YWE0OTFlZjdmMWQ5NjRlNDk3OWZiNzg0ZTc0ZTAxZDdXA255dEIKZVN_QVVlvNfkH1IbdHJpc3RyYW1iYWxkd2luOTBAZ21haWwuY29tWAQAAAAD).)

Middle-class and affluent people bear a substantial portion of the costs. In Japan, long-term care insurance is mandatory for citizens age 40 and over. Half the funding comes from tax revenues and half from premiums. Older adults contribute 10 percent to 30 percent of the cost of services, income depending, and insurance picks up the rest. Singapore recently instituted a system of mandatory long-term care insurance for those born in 1980 or later. The government subsidizes 20 percent to 30 percent of premiums for those who earn around $2,000 a month or less. Government subsidies for nursing homes and other institutional care can range from 10 percent to 75 percent.
