resident xijinping did not, in their readout re articulate china s opposition to any future use of nuclear weapons by the russians in ukraine, the foreign minister reiterated the earlier chinese position in total hostility to the use of nuclear weapons in eurasia and that means ukraine. so it was discussed. will china continue to act? in myjudgement, yes because the foreign policy damage to itself by not acting is in fact severe for its long term strategic relationship not just long term strategic relationship notjust with us but with europe and the world. as we have been talking, we are seeing the indian prime minister narendra modi greeting the indonesian leaderjoko widodo, two very large economies becoming increasingly important on the global stage, but for now, that is it from me

about a range of issues, everything from taiwan to the use of nuclear weapons. we begin our coverage with this report from our north america editor sarah smith. president biden looks eager to meet again with a man he always says he knows well. this is his first face to face with president xi as leaders of their nations, but they spent many hours together when they were both vice presidents hence the relaxed body language and maybe even a cooperative mood, despite relations between their countries being at their worst for decades. there is much to discuss, from economy, trade and climate change, to human rights, the war in ukraine and of course taiwan. no wonder the meeting lasted for over three hours. as leaders of our two nations, we share responsibility in my view to show that china and the united states can manage our differences, prevent competition from becoming anything anywhere near conflict. they agreed nuclear weapons must not be used or even threatened
