biden took the white house. but after he became president, his decision to keep most of his predecessors's harsh china policies and measures as well as him talking about building this coalition with like minded democracies to counter an increasingly aggressive klchina- those men who had a personal history were able to have some face time was considered a positive step, and this obviously allows the two governments to keep communication channels open at the very top to avoid any misjudgments, strategic miscalculation that would obviously cause harm not only to bilateral relations but even global peace and prosperity. now, at the end of the day, the two leaders very much stuck to their respective governments' talking points on a whole range of issues. but they did have a candid discussion on those sensitive issues from trade disputes to human rights, and, as we mentioned, taiwan. on that front, the chinese in their readout said mr. biden pledged to stick to the u.s. government's official one china policy, but they

bringing that average up and delivering more good news for this white house that's trying to dig its way out of this post-pandemic economy, something that president biden made clear in his remarks on the jobs report, not only tying it to that economic agenda that he is trying to get passed through capitol hill, but also the american rescue plan that he passed earlier this year, saying it is proof that that is working, and also proof that the u.s. is picking its way out of the latest coronavirus surge. of course the delta variant, which had been hitting incredibly hard in september as white house officials were saying they were confident it would bounce back and they are not overfocusing on any one month in the jobs report but looking at the broader picture. in jobs report showed the unemployment rate dropped to 6.4%. much further from the 6% level we had been seeing previously. it showed the labor participation rate did not change much. it was essentially flat from september to october. that is a number that, of course, employers are watching closely, hopefully that is a number that
