       India should also be given credit for the improvement IMO. PM
       Modi, while voicing concerns about the border dispute, has not
       acquiesced to the demands of some Westerners in the U.S. who
       want him to "take on" China. But he has also maintained good
       relations with Biden. This signals to the U.S. that they cannot
       rely on India as an anti-China "partner", and hence must rely on
       themselves alone to take on China. But they recognize this is
       unfeasible so they have come around to admitting that they do
       not want to take on China after all.

       I have repeatedly explained that good US-China relations depend
       on identifying common historical enemies of both countries. I
       have also repeatedly stated who those enemies are:

       a useful counterbalance to the Soviet threat.

       California Gov. Newsom has surprise meeting with China's leader
       Xi amid warm welcome in Beijing
       --- Quote ---
       > BANGKOK (AP) — California Gov. Gavin Newsom had a surprise
       meeting with Chinese leader Xi Jinping in Beijing on Wednesday
       after being warmly welcomed by other senior leaders in a display
       of friendliness that stands in sharp contrast to the dialogue
       between the United States and China in recent years.
       >
       > The governor is on a weeklong tour of China, where he plans to
       push for climate cooperation. Newsom's trip as governor, once
       considered routine, is drawing attention as it comes after years
       of heightening tensions between the U.S. and China.
       >
       > “I’m here in expectation, as you suggest, of turning the page,
       of renewing our friendship and reengaging (on) foundational and
       fundamental issues that will determine our collective faith in
       the future,” Newsom said in brief opening remarks ahead of his
       meeting with Wang Yi, China's top diplomat, earlier in the day.
       >
       > Though Newsom was in China to promote cooperation in curbing
       climate change, Chinese officials took the opportunity in
       welcome speeches ahead of the closed-door meetings to talk about
       U.S.-China relations. Wang is preparing to visit the U.S. on
       Thursday.
       >
       > Newsom and Xi discussed ways to “accelerate our progress on
       climate in meaningful and substantive ways,” the California
       governor said at a news conference, but did not mention more
       specifics.
       >
       > They also talked about fentanyl, a synthetic drug and leading
       killer of young people in the U.S., and China’s role in
       combating the transnational shipping of precursor chemicals,
       Newsom said.
       >
       > According to China's state broadcaster CCTV, Xi told Newsom:
       “I hope your visit will enhance mutual understanding between the
       two sides and play a positive role in expanding cooperation
       between China and California and promoting the healthy and
       stable development of Sino-U.S. relations."
       >
       > Xi may attend the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation summit in
       San Francisco next month and meet with U.S. President Joe Biden,
       although China has not formally confirmed his attendance.
       >
       > Newsom is visiting Hong Kong, Beijing, Shanghai and the
       provinces of Guangdong and Jiangsu. At a speech at Hong Kong
       University on Monday, he promised to continue to cooperate on
       climate change regardless of the outcome of the next U.S.
       presidential election.
       >
       > He said he raised human rights issues with Wang and the two
       also discussed Taiwan, a red-line issue for Beijing. China
       claims the self-ruled island as part of its own territory.
       >
       > “I expressed my support for the One-China policy ... as well
       as our desire not to see independence,” Newsom said, referring
       to the official U.S. policy that recognizes the Communist Party
       as the ruling government of China. Officially, the U.S. does not
       recognize Taiwan but is its biggest unofficial ally.
       >
       > Wang, the head of the Communist Party’s office of foreign
       affairs, said he knows Newsom's trip attracted plenty of critics
       but that he views the trip positively.
       >
       > “But I think time and facts will certainly prove that your
       visit to China is in line with California people’s wishes and in
       line with the American people’s interests and the expectations
       of the global society.”
       >
       > Newsom also met Wednesday with Vice President Han Zheng, who
       greeted him with a wide smile and called him an “old friend.”
       Han is a past member of the Politburo Standing Committee, an
       elite group of leaders within the party.
       >
       > “The China-U.S. relationship is the most important bilateral
       relationship in the world, and the sub-national cooperation is
       an indispensable part to facilitate the sound and steady growth
       of China-U.S. relations," Han said. “I’m sure your weeklong trip
       will inject positive energy to the development of the China-U.S.
       relationship.”
       >
       > The governor met as well with the head of China's National
       Development and Reform Commission, a Cabinet-level agency
       responsible for economic policies. They signed a memorandum on
       deepening cooperation in environmental issues.
       >
       > Governors of California, which has an economy larger than most
       countries, have a long history of climate collaboration with
       China. Democrat Jerry Brown and Republican Arnold Schwarzenegger
       also traveled to China to swap knowledge on reducing air
       pollution and emissions.
       >
       > Since leaving office, Brown launched the California-China
       Climate Institute at the University of California, Berkeley.
