Following the Biden-Xi meeting, China said it hopes it can improve its relationship with the US. China wants to develop relations based on the principles of mutual respect, peaceful coexistence and cooperation for mutual benefit, a spokesman for China’s foreign ministry said. At the same time, we resolutely defend our legitimate rights and interests.
It is the duo’s first meeting since Biden became head of state. They will discuss how to “responsibly manage” rivalry between China and the US, trying to “work together where our interests converge,” Washington said earlier.
Joe Biden and Xi Jinping, who have already met five times by phone and videoconference, will also discuss a range of “international and regional” topics, a US spokesman said. It is not clear whether Taiwan will be included.
