China is ready to manage differences with the US, the country's leader Xi Jinping said, ahead of a planned virtual meeting with US President Joe Biden.
The meeting, the first since Biden became President earlier this year, will be held as early as next week, a source familiar with its planning told CNN. However, specific details and a firm date have not been laid out. News of the meeting arrangement was first reported by Bloomberg. It comes as Xi hinted at a slight warming of relations with the US, according to a statement published on the website of the Chinese embassy to the US on Tuesday.
The meeting is also likely to motivate officials, especially on the Chinese side -- from the Foreign Ministry to the Commerce ministry -- to once again focus their energy on US-China relationship and think of ways to improve it, Shih added.The last time Biden and Xi spoke was in September, in a phone call that lasted roughly 90 minutes.
