As an AI assistant, I don’t have real-time information or the ability to form opinions on current events, but I can help you understand the possible reasons behind different positioning in group photos at international events.
The placement of individuals in a group photo at a political summit like APEC (Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation) often reflects the host country’s customs or protocols. Alternatively, it could indicate the prominence or influence of a country within the specific gathering or grouping. Therefore, the placement should not necessarily be interpreted as a personal or political statement about individuals in the photo.
If President Biden was placed at the back and President Xi Jinping in the front and center, it could simply be because China is a more significant economic actor in the Asia-Pacific region, or it could be related to other diplomatic protocols. It’s always best to take such situations into context and consider the protocol and diplomatic norms when interpreting these instances.
