Chinese head of state and party leader Xi Jinping arrived on the Indonesian island of Bali on Monday for his meeting with US President Joe Biden and the subsequent summit of the Group of Great Economic Powers (G20). This is reported by the Chinese news agency Xinhua. In the afternoon local time (10:45 CET) the long-awaited meeting with the American president is scheduled. It is the first meeting since Biden took office.
US president wants to show Xi Jinping “red lines”. The United States is prepared for stiff competition with China, but is not looking for a conflict, national security adviser Jake Sullivan said in advance. He expects a meeting of several hours. In talks with Xi Jinping, Biden will ensure competition is justified and there are “guardrails” and “traffic rules,” a senior White House official said.
US-China relations are at a low ebb and the list of controversial issues is long: China’s support for Russian President Vladimir Putin after his invasion of Ukraine, the trade war and US sanctions, China’s saber-rattling against democratic Taiwan and its territorial claims in the South China Sea. China, in turn, accuses the United States of wanting to hinder its rise in the world. The US increasingly sees China as a rival and a threat. (SDA)
