U.S. and China should continue multilayered talks to avoid conflict

The recent summit in the U.S. between President Joe Biden and his Chinese counterpart, Xi Jinping, was their first meeting in a year. The shared understanding they expressed on the need to avoid conflict is laudable, but the details on how to achieve this were minimal and vague. The two countries should continue to increase dialogue at all levels while reining in confrontation in the areas of security and economics.
