President Joe Biden announced substantial advancements in relations with China following crucial discussions with Chinese leader Xi Jinping in San Francisco.

The key achievement of the talks centred on the re-establishment of military communication channels, yet underlying tensions regarding Taiwan became apparent.

President Biden cautioned that the absence of such communication could lead to severe consequences.

This marks the second encounter between the two leaders since President Biden assumed office.

The discussions, spanning over four hours, covered extensive ground, addressing issues ranging from conflicts in Gaza and Ukraine to the state of the global economy.

Sky News China Digital Presenter Gabriella Power speaks with experts about whether this is a genuine thawing of relations, or a case of keeping your friends close and enemies closer.
