Xi’s warm and enduring bond with the Midwesterners he first encountered nearly four decades ago stands in contrast with the suspicions and acrimony that have characterized relations between the two largest economies over the last few years.

It's funny when they talk about this like the "suspicion and acrimony" has just spontaneously generated as a byproduct of these two economies existing.
