Biden and Xi to meet as Trump’s potential return raises US-China tensions
President Joe Biden will meet with Chinese President Xi Jinping on Saturday during the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation summit in Peru. This meeting occurs as Donald Trump prepares for his return to the White House, raising concerns about future US-China relations. Biden's administration aims to maintain stability during this transition. Trump has promised significant tariffs on Chinese exports, which could further strain the already tense relationship between the two countries over issues like trade, technology, and military assertiveness. This will be Biden and Xi's third meeting since Biden took office. The discussions will cover various topics, including cybersecurity, China's support for Russia, and the flow of chemicals used to make fentanyl.
