US and China leaders Donald Trump and Xi Jinping indulged in pageantry as crises mounted, squandering a chance to tackle the world's gravest threats. This was reported by Qazaqyia.kz citing The Economist.
According to the publication, the meeting between the two leaders was full of outward pomp but did not translate into concrete actions aimed at resolving crises. As a result, real steps against serious threats to global stability were not taken.
The Economist reports that at the time of the Trump-Xi meeting, a number of crises were escalating on the international stage. However, the parties failed to effectively use this opportunity to achieve concrete results in reducing global threats.
According to analysts, such ceremonial meetings are often aimed at creating an external impression rather than solving specific problems. In this case, the leaders of the two powers, having been given the opportunity to make important decisions on global security and stability, did not use it.
Thus, tensions and mutual distrust in US-China relations have persisted. The international community had hoped for the role of the two major powers in resolving global crises, but concrete results are not yet visible.
