Joe Biden and Xi Jinping rediscover the joy of talking. Good - The Economist

For months China has accused America of trying to contain its economy and encircle its territory. But in November the Communist Party’s propaganda changed tune: instead of denouncing this “new cold war”, it hailed America’s and China’s shared history of fighting Japan in the second world war, highlighting the role of American volunteer fighter pilots known as the “Flying Tigers”. State media also recalled Xi Jinping’s fondness for a couple that hosted him in rural Iowa in 1985.

Mr Xi, China’s leader, brought that spirit of detente to San Francisco for the summit of the Asia-Pacific Economic Co-operation (apec), hosted by President Joe Biden. The two leaders spoke for four hours at a country house outside the city, only their second in-person meeting as leaders of the world’s two biggest powers.

Both emphasised the fact that they have known each other for more than a decade, since they were both vice-presidents. But they disagreed on many things, not least the nature of their countries’ relationship. Mr Biden said they had to “ensure that competition does not veer into conflict”; Mr Xi warned against the very notion of a contest, saying “major-country competition is not the prevailing trend of current times”. Earth, he added, “is big enough for the two countries to succeed”.

A Must-See Comedy About Miserable People Looking for Love - The Atlantic

Fallen Leaves, which follows two people trying to survive the modern world, is one of the year’s best films.

Ansa, the taciturn protagonist of Fallen Leaves, lives a rather gloomy existence. She works at a supermarket in Helsinki, Finland, stocking shelves and monotonously pricing items under a security guard’s brooding eye. She trudges home every night to a small apartment, listening to bleak radio reports about the Russia-Ukraine war just across the border. In the film’s opening scene, she microwaves a dinner she takes home from work, gives it one look, and throws it in the garbage, uneaten. Her name, literally translated from Finnish, means “trap”—as in, she’s trapped by her life.

But did I mention that this film is one of the funniest, most winning comedies of the year? Fallen Leaves is the latest work from the Finnish writer and director Aki Kaurismäki, who channels his country’s dry and mordant outlook on life into quietly uproarious material. Many of his films are social satires: His 2002 masterpiece The Man Without a Past was a look at life among Helsinki’s homeless, while 2011’s Le Havre and 2017’s The Other Side of Hope examined Europe’s ongoing refugee crisis. But Kaurismäki always makes his bigger points slyly, weaving them into tragicomic tales of regular people struggling to carve out an existence—people like Ansa (played by Alma Pöysti), who indeed seems stuck even after she meets Holappa (Jussi Vatanen), another wayward soul in search of connection.
