Xi's week has been headlined by his three-hour session with Biden, which showed signs of a thaw in frosty bilateral relations and led to plans for US Secretary of State Antony Blinken to visit Beijing early next year.
Chong Ja Ian, a political scientist at the National University of Singapore, said other leaders this week were trying to gauge the state of their China relationships,"especially now that the system is much less accessible and a lot more opaque than it was before". For China, the outreach is an opportunity to retake initiative in an increasingly heated competition for influence with the US, whose assertiveness in the Pacific through its support for Taiwan and its AUKUS partnership with Australia and Britain has increasingly alarmed Beijing.
"That thinking shows in the way Xi has held summits with Australia's Albanese and South Korea's Yoon , in hopes to forge better relationships with them," he said.
