Biden and Xi Jinping to Hold Constructive Meeting in November

President Joe Biden is expected to meet with Chinese leader Xi Jinping in San Francisco next month for "constructive" talks, according to the White House. The meeting, which has been long-awaited, aims to stabilize and improve bilateral relations between the world's top two economies. While China has not yet confirmed Xi's attendance, both sides are working towards a summit at the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (Apec) summit. Relations between the US and China have been tense as they compete for influence in the Asia-Pacific region, and Beijing strengthens ties with Russia to reduce US dominance.
