New York: The White House announced evening that US President Joe Biden and Chinese President Xi Jinping will attend a virtual summit on Monday (November 15). The high-stakes match will take place amid rising tensions between the world's two largest economies.
"The two presidents will talk about how to handle rivalry between the US and the "People's Republic of China" (PRC) properly, as well as how to collaborate where our interests overlap. Throughout, President Biden will be forthright about the United States' aims and priorities, as well as our concerns about the People's Republic of China "Jen Psaki, the White House Press Secretary, stated in a statement.
Since June 2019, when Xi and then-President Donald Trump sat together on the margins of a G-20 conference in Japan, there has been no summit-level encounter between the two countries. So far, Biden and Xi have exchanged two phone calls.
Biden stated earlier this month, "We expect him (Xi) to follow the rules of the road." "I would like to be certain there are no misunderstandings. It is a case of rivalry rather than conflict." After the House adopted Biden's USD1.2 trillion bipartisan infrastructure proposal on Friday, his approval numbers rebounded from late-October lows. According to a Navigator Research poll of 1,000 registered voters conducted from November 4 to November 8, 47% of Americans currently approve of Biden's performance as president.
