Momentum is building for a summit between President Joe Biden and Chinese leader Xi Jinping in Washington, D.C.
Talk of a summit could be welcome news considering tensions between the nations have escalated since Biden took office. Biden and Xi last met in November in Bali, Indonesia, during a gathering of Group of 20 major economies. These latest developments increase the likelihood that Xi will attend a summit of Asia-Pacific leaders in San Francisco in November, the Journal reported. Beyond that, Beijing is seeking a separate high-profile summit with Biden, something both governments see as a potential boost to the months of tentative efforts to stabilize ties.
China also is building on its relationship with Russia to counter the U.S. and its allies. Russian President Vladimir Putin will meet with Xi in October in Beijing when China holds a high-level forum on Xi's signature Belt and Road infrastructure program, aimed at expanding China's influence across Asia, Africa, and Latin America. The forum will be Oct. 17-18, the Journal reported.
