Chinese President Xi Jinping met with outgoing U.S. President Joe Biden in Lima, Peru, on November 16.

During their two-hour discussion, Biden and Xi addressed issues including trade, Taiwan, and cyber security. They agreed on the importance of human decision-making in nuclear matters and discussed North Korea's military ties with Russia, but did not reach significant breakthroughs on major conflicts.
