The Xi Summit: A Fragile Truce on Thin Ice US Secretary of State Marco Rubio's recent meeting with Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi in Manila has heightened speculation about President Xi Jinping's potential visit to Washington.
Tensions between the two nations have been simmering beneath the surface, and this week's gathering serves as a reminder that even delicate truces can be easily upended by geopolitics.
