Biden and Xi are to meet next week. There is no detail too small to sweat

When President Joe Biden meets Chinese leader Xi Jinping on Wednesday, there will be no such thing as a small detail. “Pretty intense,” senior administration officials say of navigating delicate protocols. There’s probably "very detailed planning of the actual choreography of who enters a room where, if there will be pictures taken and all of that," said Bonny Lin, senior fellow for Asian security and director of the China Power Project at the Center for Strategic and International Studies.
