U.S. President Joe Biden announced that he’ll meet with Chinese Communist Party (CCP) leader Xi Jinping next week for their first in-person meeting since Biden took office.
Biden said at a White House press conference that he and Xi would confer on the sidelines of the G-20 summit in Bali, Indonesia, and that the two leaders would discuss several critical issues, including Taiwan, nuclear proliferation, and managing conflict and competition between their countries.
“What I want to do with him when we talk is lay out what each of our red lines are, understand what he believes to be in the critical national interests of China, what I know to be the critical interests of the United States, and to determine whether or not they conflict with one another and, if they do, how to resolve it and how to work it out,” Biden said….
