BEIJING - Chinese President Xi Jinping met in person with International Olympic Committee President Thomas Bach in Beijing on Tuesday , possibly his first face time with a foreign dignitary since the

early days of the pandemic.

Besides avoiding face-to-face meetings, Mr Xi's lack of foreign travel - he hasn't left the country in just over two years - raises concern his absence from major events hinders global progress on everything from climate change to disputes with the US. In Tuesday's meeting, which comes just a week before the start of the Beijing Winter Olympics, Mr Xi and Mr Bach talked about the Olympic Truce resolution adopted by United Nations member states, as well as Covid-19 measures and the closed-loop management system being employed for the Winter Games, according to a statement from the IOC.

Face time: 'Solemn' Hong Kong leader ditches mask to show how she feels about COVIDHONG KONG (Reuters) -Hong Kong leader Carrie Lam on Tuesday defended herself against criticism for not wearing a mask at newsconferences, saying it was so people could see how 'solemn' she was when talking about the coronavirus. But the discovery in Hong Kong at the end of last year of some local transmissions after a clean streak of three months led to the imposition of restrictions that have made the global financial hub one of the world's most isolated major cities.
