Warm Public Greeting Between Xi, Biden Belie Tensions Over Airspace -- CNN
(CNN) -- In public remarks that betrayed no hint of the tension between the United States and China over airspace above the East China Sea, China's leader welcomed U.S. Vice President Joe Biden to Beijing on Wednesday, calling the former senator an "old friend" and praising U.S.-China relations.
"We're happy to see that in the recent period, our two teams have worked actively to expand coordination and collaboration on bilateral, regional, and global levels," President Xi Jinping said in greeting Biden on his latest visit to China, according to a pool report.
Biden also made no public mention of the controversial Chinese air defense space declaration, instead focusing on the possibilities of good relations between the two nations.
