US President Joe Biden is expected to meet with Chinese President Xi Jinping next month on the sidelines of the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation summit in San Francisco. Relations between the US and China have been tense in recent years as they compete for influence globally and regionally. The Biden-Xi meeting would be their first in-person encounter since November 2022. Last week, China's Foreign Minister Wang Yi visited Washington and met senior US officials, paving the way for the potential Xi-Biden summit. Both sides hope the Biden-Xi meeting can help "stabilize and improve" bilateral ties, though disagreements remain on issues like Taiwan, trade, and human rights.
