Biden-Xi success Presidents Xi and Biden shake hands today at the sidelines of the G20 summit in Bali.

President Xi made a surprisingly candid admission that the state of U.S.-China relations was "not what the international community expects from us," according to a readout. President Biden emphasized that America's one-China policy has not changed, despite his repeated claims over the past year that the U.S. would defend Taiwan in the case of attack from China. Zoom out: Bilateral relations between the world's two superpowers have deteriorated dramatically over the past few years. What to watch: Biden and Xi agreed on a future visit to China by Secretary of State Tony Blinken to follow up on today's meeting.
