Richard Arnold: US Correspondent on the talks between US President Joe Biden and Chinese President Xi Jinping

US President Joe Biden is calling talks with Chinese President Xi Jinping constructive and productive.  

The pair have met in San Francisco, committing to resuming military communications and investigating AI risks. 

They've also agreed to reduce the flow of precursor chemicals from China to counter the US's fentanyl drug crisis. 

On China's side, US Correspondent Richard Arnold told Mike Hosking that Xi criticized what he called America's efforts to contain China's growth.

He said that the two are engaging with each other but many of the key issues are still unsettled.
