President Joe Biden<\/a> and Chinese President Xi Jinping<\/a> will meet Wednesday in California for talks on trade, Taiwan<\/a> and managing fraught U.S.-Chinese relations in the first engagement between the leaders of the world\u2019s two biggest economies in nearly a year<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The White House has said for weeks that it anticipated Biden and Xi would meet on the sidelines of the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation summit<\/a> in San Francisco, but negotiations went down to the eve of the gathering, which kicks off Saturday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said in a statement the leaders would discuss the \u201ccontinued importance of maintaining open lines of communication\u201d and how the they \u201ccan continue to responsibly manage competition and work together where our interests align, particularly on transnational challenges that affect the international community.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

China\u2019s Foreign Ministry said in a statement Friday that Xi would attend APEC from Tuesday to Nov. 17 at Biden\u2019s invitation and would take part in the U.S.-China summit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Two senior Biden administration officials, who earlier briefed reporters on the condition of anonymity under ground rules set by the White House, said that the leaders would meet in the San Francisco Bay area but declined to offer further details because of security concerns. Thousands of protesters are expected to descend on San Francisco during the summit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen and Chinese Vice Premier He Lifeng met on Thursday<\/a> in the San Francisco, the latest in a string of senior level engagements between the nations in recent months aimed at easing tensions. Yellen and He are set to continue talks on Friday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Biden-Xi meeting is not expected to lead to many, if any, major announcements, and differences between the two powers certainly won\u2019t be resolved. Instead, one official said, Biden is looking toward \u201cmanaging the competition, preventing the downside risk of conflict and ensuring channels of communication are open.\u201d The officials said they believed it would be Xi\u2019s first visit to San Francisco since he was a young Communist Party leader.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The agenda includes no shortage of difficult issues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Differences in the already complicated U.S.-Chinese relationship have only sharpened in the last year, with Beijing bristling over new U.S. export controls on advanced technology; Biden ordering the shooting down<\/a> of a Chinese spy balloon after it traversed the continental United States; and Chinese anger over a stopover<\/a> in the U.S. by Taiwanese President Tsai Ing-wen earlier this year, among other issues. China claims the island as its territory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Biden will also likely press Xi on using China\u2019s influence on North Korea, during heightened anxiety over an increased pace of ballistic missile tests by North Korea as well as Pyongyang providing munitions to Russia<\/a> for its war in Ukraine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Democratic president is also expected to let Xi know that he would like China to use its burgeoning sway over Iran to make clear that Tehran or its proxies should not take action that could lead to expansion of the Israel-Hamas war<\/a>. His administration believes the Chinese, a big buyer of Iranian oil, have considerable leverage with Iran, which is a major backer of Hamas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Biden and Xi last met nearly a year ago on the sidelines of the Group of 20 summit<\/a> in Bali, Indonesia. In the nearly three-hour meeting, Biden objected directly to China\u2019s \u201ccoercive and increasingly aggressive actions\u201d toward Taiwan and discussed Russia\u2019s invasion of Ukraine and other issues. Xi stressed that \u201cthe Taiwan question is at the very core of China\u2019s core interests, the bedrock of the political foundation of China-U.S. relations, and the first red line that must not be crossed in China-U.S. relations.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Next week\u2019s meeting comes as the United States braces for a potentially bumpy year for U.S.-Chinese relations, with Taiwan set to hold a presidential election<\/a> in January and the U.S. holding its own presidential election next November.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Beijing sees official American contact with Taiwan as encouragement to make the island\u2019s decades-old de facto independence permanent, a step U.S. leaders say they don\u2019t support. Under the \u201cOne China\u201d policy<\/a>, the U.S. recognizes Beijing as the government of China and doesn\u2019t have diplomatic relations with Taiwan, but it has maintained that Taipei is an important partner in the Indo-Pacific. Biden intends to reaffirm the U.S. wants no change in the status quo, one official said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Disinformation experts testifying before the Senate Intelligence Committee have warned<\/a> that Beijing could aim to target the U.S., sowing discord that might influence election results at the local level, especially in districts with large numbers of Chinese-American voters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Biden administration has sought to make clear to the Chinese that any actions or interference in the 2024 election \u201cwould raise extremely strong concerns from our side,\u201d according to one official.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The officials also noted that Biden is determined to restore military-to-military communications that Beijing largely withdrew from after then-House Speaker Nancy Pelosi\u2019s visit to Taiwan<\/a> in August 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All the while, the number of unsafe or provocative encounters involving the two nations\u2019 ships and aircraft have spiked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last month, the U.S. military released a video of a Chinese fighter jet flying within 10 feet<\/a> (3 meters) of an American B-52 bomber over the South China Sea, nearly causing an accident. Earlier that month, the Pentagon released footage of some of the more than 180 intercepts of U.S. warplanes by Chinese aircraft that occurred in the last two years, part of a trend U.S. military officials call concerning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Pentagon has warned that the lack of military-to-military contacts \u201craises the risk of an operational incident or miscalculation spiraling into crisis or conflict.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The officials also said Biden would underscore U.S. commitment to the Philippines, following a recent episode in which Chinese ships blocked and collided with two Filipino vessels<\/a> off a contested shoal in the South China Sea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Philippines and other neighbors of China are resisting Beijing\u2019s sweeping territorial claims over virtually the entire sea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI want to be very clear,\u201d Biden said in October<\/a>. \u201cThe United States\u2019 defense commitment to the Philippines is iron clad.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Both sides appeared to be carefully considering security for the meeting, declining to publicize the venue of the much-anticipated talks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thousands of people protesting climate destruction, corporate practices, the Israel-Hamas war and other issues are expected to descend on San Francisco during the summit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

San Francisco Police Department Chief Bill Scott said his department expects several protests a day but doesn\u2019t know which ones will materialize where and when. He said the city respects people\u2019s right to mobilize peacefully but will not tolerate property destruction, violence or any other crime.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
