Biden and China's Xi will meet next week. Don't expect it to be a game changer
The meeting will follow months of back-and-forth diplomacy to smooth over disagreements and set stage for first interaction since they sat down together in Bali, Indonesia last year
SAN FRANCISCO — President Biden and Chinese leader Xi Jinping will hold their first face-to-face talks in a year next week, a meeting that analysts say could help stabilize a shaky relationship but probably won't change its trajectory.
U.S.-China ties have long been mired in disagreements over trade, technology, security and human rights, but mistrust and friction have increased markedly in recent years and the Biden administration has re-framed the relationship as one that is fundamentally competitive.
Biden and Xi will have "in-depth discussions" on Nov.
