China's top diplomat Wang Yi, who has just taken over as Beijing's foreign affairs minister following the announcement that his predecessor Qin Gang had been sacked, meets with Turkey's Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan in Ankara ahead of an expected meeting with President Recep Tayyip Erdogan. After a month without being seen in public, Qin was removed from office by Beijing's top lawmaking body on Tuesday after just 207 days in the job, following weeks of speculation that the former ambassador to the United States and confidant of President Xi Jinping had fallen out of favour.

Hong Kong (CNN) As United States President-elect Joe Biden faces an ugly, potentially contested transition, foreign policy may be the last thing on his mind. But in capitals around the world, foreign leaders are already clamoring for his attention, hoping to reset relationships and restore norms that shifted under President Donald Trump. Nowhere will there be greater opportunity for a shift than in the US-China relationship, which has deteriorated to historic lows during Trump's term in office. Over the past four years, both sides have slapped the other with trade tariffs, restricted access for tech companies, journalists and diplomats, shuttered consulates, and squared off militarily in the South China Sea.
