For the second time during President Biden's presidency, he and Chinese leader Xi Jinping will meet. This meeting will be the first on U.S. soil.
President Joe Biden is scheduled to meet one-on-one with Chinese leader Xi Jinping at the APEC Summit in San Francisco next week. The meeting will be Xi's first trip to the United States in six years, and the first he has made since the COVID-19 pandemic, which likely originated in China.
The official said that the U.S. is going into this meeting confident in its approach as the U.S. sees competition, but not conflict, with China. Election interference, China's role in wars in Ukraine and Israel, and China's threats toward Taiwan could all be potential sticking points. The U.S. has applied pressure on China not to back Russia in its invasion of Ukraine. The U.S. has also warned of China advancing on Taiwan, even as the United States has backed a One China policy.
