US and China clash in first talks of Biden era

Newsday

Available for over a year

Senior American and Chinese officials are in Alaska this morning, as President Biden's administration outlines its foreign policy agenda. Chinese relations with Canada are also in the spotlight as one of two Canadians accused of spying in China will appear in court today. Michael Spavor's trial is seen as a response to Canada's detention of a senior executive of the Chinese technology company Huawei. We'll hear from Russia where the government has consistently boasted of the low level of coronavirus deaths, but new evidence is challenging that conclusion. And we take you to the depths of the Indian Ocean for a unique underwater protest.
