The U.S. and China are pushing to reopen communication lines after House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s August visit to Taiwan shut down many of those channels.
NUSA DUA, Indonesia—President Biden and Chinese leader Xi Jinping began a closely watched meeting on Monday that officials on both sides said was intended to repair ruptured lines of communication between the two powers and stabilize the relationship whose downward spiral in recent months has raised concerns of a new Cold War.
The leaders’ first face-to-face meeting since Mr. Biden won the presidency is taking place in Bali, Indonesia, ahead of a summit between the heads of the Group of 20 nations. It comes after months of tensions that hit their highest point in decades following House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s visit to Taiwan in August. Beijing responded to the visit by conducting military drills and said it was shutting down much of its communication with the U.S. government.
