The copium that this kind of articles spread is palpable.
One of the real reasons why the West is so worried about China's rise: China shows the rest of the world that "there’s a possibility outside the Western paradigm of financial capitalism, endless wars, wokeism etc."
Biden still lives in his own world, while the rest of the world passes him by.
It's official.
To paraphrasing de Gaulle's comment about Brazil: India will be the next China, and will always be.

The West wants to break up China because who can upset a 1.4 billion consumer market the world wants to sell their goods to? It's why the US has a hard time getting countries, including their treaty allies, to go all-in against China. It's not just Xinjiang and Tibet. They want every province and minority group to break away into their own independent states warring with each other because then none of them will be a threat to the West and even some will be sucking up to the US in order to stand out.
The first readouts from both sides matches perfectly and expressed the meeting in full according to diplomatic jargon/convention. There is no need to read the rests, or in other words the rest are just lumps of letters and characters to make the paper looks less empty, a perfect expressin in Chinese is "凑数".What are the differences between Chinese and American readouts of the talks between Joe Biden and Xi Jinping?
“a candid and constructive discussion” (US) – “a candid and in-depth exchange of views” (China). This is always the case, when officials from the two countries meet. I guess there is no hidden meaning behind it, it’s just interesting to note.
Here is the diplomatic jargons (in bold texts) that I got from the internet. I map the readouts in italic.
坦率交谈——分歧很大，无法沟通；
Frank conversation - Lots of differences, impossible to agree on any of them.
Candid and constructive discussion
充分交换了意见——双方无法达成协议，吵得厉害；
Fully exchanged opinions - No agreement, a big quarrel.
in-depth exchange of views
The true and only meaningful message in plain language is that "there is lots of differences and quarrel, nothing to agree."
Even the seemingly meaningful outcome of "working group on counternarcotic" is a big empty nothing, yeah I agree to listen to you in a working group, but I may just roll my fingers and fall asleep. If Biden wants that win, so be it.

Maybe they just want to see what people are supposed to believe -- and thus capitalize on it...like watching Jim Cramer to know what not to do!
I mean I'm pretty sure Warren Buffet and friends read it every day for basically that reason (like reading Pravda -- or People's Daily, for that matter -- to know what their fellow elites have decided to label various aspects of the situation at hand).
Just an obligatory reminder in these Russo-philic times that that's traditional Russian policy goals for China, too. Indeed, Lake Baikal used to be in China and Mongolia was spun away with their connivance...Sergei Shoigu would have been Chinese since the Tuva Republic used to be in China...Vladivostok was originally a Chinese village and its Russian name remains a provocation....
Noooooooooo my AI girlfriend suddenly turned off!

People who paid to speak to an AI girlfriend modeled after real life 23-year-old influencer Caryn Marjorie are distraught because the service they paid for, Forever Companions, no longer works. It appears that the service stopped working shortly after Forever Companion CEO and founder John Meyer was arrested for trying to set his own apartment on fire.
