Biden Navigates Diplomatic Challenges Amidst Trump's Shadow at APEC Summit

President Joe Biden is set to meet Chinese President Xi Jinping at the APEC Summit in Lima, aiming to solidify diplomatic and military communication channels between the U.S. and China before the Trump administration potentially disrupts these ties. Biden seeks to maintain the diplomatic stabilization achieved over the past two years, focusing on military-to-military communications and other cooperative frameworks. However, with Trump's incoming administration, which promises a tougher stance on China, the sustainability of these efforts remains uncertain.
