President Biden says he plans at an anticipated meeting with Chinese President Xi to discuss growing tensions between Washington and Beijing over Taiwan, trade policies and China’s relationship with Russia.
The White House has said it is working with Chinese officials to arrange a meeting between Biden and Xi on the sidelines of next week’sin Bali, Indonesia, but the two sides have not confirmed the meeting will take place.
Biden told reporters at a White House news conference that he had much to discuss with Xi as U.S.-Chinese relations have grown more fraught in recent months. “What I want to do with him when we talk is lay out what each of our red lines are and understand what he believes to be in the critical national interests of China, what I know to be the critical interests of the United States,” Biden said. “And determine whether or not they conflict with one another.”
Xi’s government has criticized the Biden administration’s posture toward Taiwan — which Beijing looks eventually to unify with the communist mainland — as undermining China’s territorial integrity. The Chinese president also has suggested that Washington wants to stifle Beijing’s growing influence as it tries to overtake the U.S. as the world’s No. 1 economy.Biden said that he’s “not willing to make any fundamental concessions” about the United States’ Taiwan doctrine.
Under its “One China” policy, the United States recognizes the government in Beijing while allowing for informal relations and defense ties with Taipei. It takes a stance of “strategic ambiguity” toward the defense of Taiwan, leaving it open whether it would respond militarily were the island attacked.
