From Foreign Waters

  On Tuesday, China greeted a virtual summit between President Xi and POTUS Biden, expecting to accomplish healthier relations, while the US was more muffled on the discussions as the two greatest powers tried to tighten down over an extended period of strains.    Tensions between the two world powers have been there for a long time. From Huawei, trade war, shutting down of consulates, coronavirus blame game, to Taiwan, the list goes on about the tension amid the two nations. Moreover, former President Donald Trump has also sharply criticized China for violating human rights Xinjiang region.   Relations remained cold after Biden held office.

Tel Aviv isn't a signatory to the Rome Statute and the White House contends that Palestine is definitely not a sovereign state and subsequently can't be an individual from the ICC.   In my observation, at the point when the Washington media, which has frequently preferred Biden over Trump, reversed the situation and inquired as to whether the new organization was accepting similar strategies as its archetype, State Department representative Ned Price got into a warmed trade that stood out as truly newsworthy for the tone and not the substance.
