Co-founder of Microsoft Bill Gates traveled to China this week and met with Chinese President Xi Jinping. It was the American tech billionaire’s first trip to China since the start of the Covid-19 pandemic, with his prior visit being in 2019, and is against a backdrop of simmering US-China tensions.

President Xi greeted Gates on Friday by saying, “I am very happy to see you. We haven’t seen each other for more than three years … and you are an old friend of ours. He noted, “You are the first American friend I’ve met in Beijing this year.”
