Xi Jinping offered a vision of mutual coexistence, even as Blinken arrived carrying demands over Russia, Taiwan, and technology — each a fault line capable of reshaping the global order. The meeting revealed a relationship caught between the necessity of cooperation and the momentum of distrust, where both sides understand the cost of collision but cannot yet agree on the price of peace.
