The Spin
Pro-China narrative
It's wonderful that the US has tamped down its combative rhetoric and is pursuing a dialogue with China, which has never wanted anything other than peace between the countries. True cooperation, however, will only be achieved when the US puts its words and actions into alignment by no longer politicizing its trade policy, avoiding military threats against China, and abiding by the agreed-upon One China principle.
Anti-China narrative
The US has always sought a constructive relationship with China, but Beijing has often made this difficult with its actions in the South China Sea and Taiwan, its unbalanced trade policies, and its unhelpful relations with countries like Russia and Iran. But meeting face-to-face in both countries will be the best way to ease any tensions moving forward.
