President Joe Biden is poised to meet with Chinese President Xi Jinping later this year as Beijing continues to act increasingly hostile toward the U.S.
Ahead of Biden and Xi’s expected presence at the Asia-Pacific leaders meeting in November, Xi could separately visit with Biden at a potential summit in Washington, D.C. before the year’s end; it would be the first time the two world leaders would have personally met in a year, as tensions between the U.S. and China have steadily increased, according people briefed on the matter who spoke to The Wall Street Journal. Biden and his administration have called for cooperation and diplomacy in dealing with China, even as the country has aggressively expanded its military to potentially go to war with the U.S. and invade Taiwan.
