Xi Jinping expresses readiness to collaborate with Trump administration during Biden talks
Chinese President Xi Jinping expressed a willingness to collaborate with Donald Trump's incoming administration during a meeting with outgoing President Joe Biden. Xi emphasized the need for communication and cooperation despite existing tensions between the two nations. The meeting followed the APEC summit in Peru, where leaders failed to reach a consensus on global conflicts affecting the economy. Xi's comments aimed to downplay fears of escalating trade tensions, particularly in light of Trump's threats to impose tariffs on Chinese imports. APEC leaders did agree on the importance of free and fair trade, seen as a response to Trump's potential trade policies. The discussions at APEC set the stage for the upcoming G20 meeting in Brazil, where global leaders will address economic challenges.
