Biden and Xi Jinping to Meet on the 15th | WPN World People News

China and the United States have recently announced that Xi Jinping will travel to San Francisco from the 14th to the 17th to hold a meeting between Chinese and American leaders, and at the same time be invited to attend the 30th Informal Meeting of Leaders of the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC). US President Joe Biden and Chinese President Xi Jinping are expected to meet in San Francisco on the 15th.

German media said that China needs to trade with the West to save its economy, while the U.S. wants to prevent the U.S.-China rivalry from turning into a war, and the meeting will seek to ease tensions, with military exchanges between China and the U.S. becoming key.

The German economic weekly (WirtschaftsWoche) on the 10th published an article "Great Powers Duel", that no matter whether it is the Middle East issue, Ukraine issue or the South China Sea issue, the United States and China are now in the world's major conflicts are on the opposite side.

Der Spiegel, a German weekly magazine, quoted by Deutsche Welle on the 11th of November, pointed out that the "Biden-Xi meeting" is a way for Xi Jinping to ease the situation of the recent trade dispute between China and the U.S. Because Xi Jinping can no longer afford to be caught up in a dispute with the U.S. for a long time to lead to the consequences of the U.S. and the West he needs to trade with the U.S. and the West, in order to maintain China's ailing economy. Biden, on the other hand, is a man who prefers to talk rather than act, and he wants to stabilize relations between the two countries to prevent the rivalry with China from turning into a real war.

The talks have been well received, with the New Zurich Newspaper (NZZ) commenting on the 10th that Biden will work with Xi to resolve a series of issues that have irked the two powers in recent months, including Taiwan, and that the U.S. will emphasize to China that it does not support Taiwan's independence and will insist that the status quo be maintained.

Since the U.S. side has said that no joint communiqué will be issued after the talks, how can we judge the success of the visit? The key, according to the article, will be whether or not Xi Jinping agrees to revitalize U.S.-China military relations and allow direct exchanges between the two militaries after the talks.

However, Xi Jinping's stance on the international scene has been more in favor of Russia and refuses to criticize Hamas, and he has become even more assertive towards US partners such as Taiwan and the Philippines than before. Therefore, from the U.S. perspective, Beijing is an obstacle on the road to solving the current global crisis, and the "Xi Jinping Meeting" is likely to become a top priority in easing the tension.
