humphrey. there was a rather interesting statement put out today by the chinese state news agency. it wasn't long ago they were talking about the us threat, but now we have this lengthy article published in english about the "enduring strength" of mr xi's for americans and includes him sitting in a tractor. maybe there is some feeling to be done tomorrow.— to be done tomorrow. christian, i think both _ to be done tomorrow. christian, i think both leaders _ to be done tomorrow. christian, i think both leaders are _ to be done tomorrow. christian, i think both leaders are coming - to be done tomorrow. christian, i think both leaders are coming to | think both leaders are coming to this summit looking for a little bit of breathing room. if you look at the situation in china, it's still feeling the effects of the pandemic. when you look at the economic growth, it's been quite sluggish. if you look at the situation in the united states, 2024 is a presidential election. joe biden will be looking to present himself as somebody who's got a firm grip on foreign policy. they wouldn't have this meeting if they was —— there wasn't at least some hope for it being productive in terms of talking. i think they will be talking. i think they will be talking about talking. not necessarily going to get a breakthrough here. we're not necessarily going to expect that, but there might be the restoration of some sort of munication. some fairly close calls against the south china sea. that was cut off after nancy pelosi's trip to taiwan. that's one potential area of cooperation. when we look at al, there may be potential conversations about not integrating ai into weaponry. essentially a human to deploy any such weapon. and then sentinel, a huge issue here. —— fentanyl mac. a commitment from china to curb its exports. as i say, i think the importance here is the openness to have some kind of conversation because you are just mentioning there, we've had some really high tensions. those tension continued. not least with the ongoing ukraine war and the hamas attack on october the 7th. just war and the hamas attack on october the 7th., , c, ., ~ war and the hamas attack on october the 7th., , a, war and the hamas attack on october the 7th., , ., .,, the 7th. just looking at those sentinel overdoses, -
