Beijing, November 12 (RHC)-- U.S. President Joe Biden and Chinese President Xi Jinping are preparing to hold a virtual summit on Monday.  This comes just days after the world’s two largest economies announced a deal to work together to address the climate emergency. Tension has been rising between the two nuclear-armed nations for months over Taiwan and other issues. 

Earlier this week, Xi Jinping warned against a new Cold War beginning in the region.

Meanwhile, the Central Committee of the Chinese Communist Party has passed what’s known as a historical resolution elevating Xi Jinping’s status as a leader.  Similar resolutions were passed for just two former Chinese leaders: Mao Zedong and Deng Xiaoping.
