WOODSIDE, Calif. (AP) — President Joe Biden and China’s Xi Jinping have plunged into their first-face-to-face meeting in more than a year. The two leaders are working to stabilize fraught relations during the talks that have far-reaching implications for the world. They’re meeting Wednesday at a bucolic Northern California estate during the annual conference of the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation. Biden says there is no substitute for face-to-face communications. Xi told Biden that ‘Planet Earth is big enough for the two countries to succeed.’
