Biden and Xi prepare for crucial meeting in Peru as Trump tariffs threaten China relations
U.S. President Joe Biden will meet Chinese President Xi Jinping on Saturday in Lima, Peru, for their first talks in seven months. This meeting is expected to be their last before Donald Trump takes office in January, amid rising tensions. Key issues include cybersecurity, trade disputes, and concerns over Taiwan and Russia. Biden's administration has expressed anger over a recent cyberattack linked to China and ongoing trade restrictions affecting Chinese technology sectors. Trump has proposed imposing 60% tariffs on Chinese imports, which Beijing opposes. Xi is also engaging in diplomatic efforts in Latin America, seeking to strengthen trade ties while U.S. officials remain wary of China's influence in the region.
