US President Joe Biden and Chinese President Xi Jinping sat down for a bilateral meeting to resolve their differences. The much-awaited meeting on Monday (November 15) virtually began. This is Biden’s first meeting with Xi Jinping since taking office as US President in January.
Reuters and Al Jazeera news agencies reported this information in a report on Tuesday. The two leaders met when bilateral relations between the United States and China deteriorated over Beijing’s treatment of Taiwan, Hong Kong and Uyghurs.
Joe Biden, meanwhile, told Chinese President Xi Jinping that communication was needed to avoid open confrontation. “Whether intentionally or unintentionally, there is competition between our countries,” Biden said as he spoke to Xi Jinping on a television screen at the White House. But we must set boundaries to ensure that competition does not escalate into conflict. “
On the other hand, Xi Jinping from Beijing said that both countries are facing many challenges. He called President Biden “his old friend” and said the two rival superpowers needed to work more closely.
In the words of the Chinese president, “China and the United States need to increase their communication and cooperation.” We have to work closely with the enemies. ‘
Tensions between the two global superpowers over Taiwan have risen sharply in the South China Sea in recent years. China has always claimed Taiwan as its territory. Beijing has further complicated the situation with recent military demonstrations, ranging from violations of Taiwan’s airspace.
So now there is a war situation in the South China Sea. And Taiwan fears losing its independence. In this situation, US President Joe Biden made it clear that the United States is committed to protecting Taiwan from China. And China was in no way satisfied with Biden’s announcement.
According to US officials, Biden is taking part in the meeting from a strong position. Let there be a border or guardrail between the United States and China that both countries will abide by, and it will be possible to avoid conflict. Biden will confirm this.
