The White House announced on Thursday that US President Joe Biden and his Chinese counterpart Xi Jinping will meet on November 14 in Bali, Indonesia, on the sidelines of the G20 summit.
White House press secretary Karen Jean-Pierre said in a statement that the two presidents, who will have their first face-to-face meeting since Biden’s election as president, “will discuss how to responsibly manage hostility between China and the United States by trying to work together where our interests are.” match”.
“The two leaders will also discuss a range of regional and global issues,” she added.
The White House announcement comes days after Biden said the United States does not seek conflict with China.
“What I want us to do as we speak is define the kind of red lines” that we have to respect, he said Wednesday at a news conference in Washington.
Also a few days ago, Chinese President Xi Jinping stressed that China is ready to work with the United States to find ways to compromise in the interests of both sides.
The new U.S. Department of Defense (Pentagon) strategy has shown that China continues to pose the biggest security threat to the United States and has made clear that the threat from Beijing will determine how the U.S. military is equipped and trained in the future.
A document released late last month said a conflict with China was “neither inevitable nor desirable.”
