With tension high, the leaders will look to reset relations at the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation summit in November, administration officials say.
By Ellen Nakashima, The Washington PostChinese President Xi Jinping delivers his speech at a dinner marking the 74th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China at the Great Hall of the People in Beijing, Thursday, Sept. 28, 2023.
A second senior administration official said that Biden looks forward to meeting Xi, but that “nothing has been confirmed yet.” But after Biden ordered the shoot-down of a Chinese spy balloon that traveled over the continental United States in February, ties frayed further. Nonetheless, Biden has repeatedly indicated over the past several months that he was expecting to meet with Xi — “sometime in the future, in the near term,” he said at a news conference in June. Last month, Xi skipped the G-20 leadership summit in New Delhi, leading Biden to express disappointment. But, he added, “I am going to get to see him.”
China watchers have looked to the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation summit in San Francisco as the setting for the meeting. For Xi to be a no-show, coming on the heels of his G-20 absence and ducking out of a speech at a summit of developing nations in August, would be a poor look, said Danny Russel, a former White House Asia aide in the Obama administration. “People will jump to the conclusion that the domestic economic and political problems are too great,” he said.
