Welcome to another episode of the GT Podcast with Mulan – a one-stop shop for the Global Times’ take on top China and global news.

In today’s podcast:

With the entire world watching closely, the leaders of China and the US concluded a high-stakes meeting in San Francisco, reaching a number of areas of consensus on topics ranging from AI to military communication.

Digital artwork on display in the US city of Boston has wowed local residents and let them experience Chinese history and culture.
