WASHINGTON (AP) — President Joe Biden and China’s Xi Jinping have no shortage of difficult issues to discuss when they sit down for their first talks in a year, even if expectations are low that their meeting will lead to major breakthroughs.
Beijing’s demands were made clear last November when Xi and Biden met in Bali, Indonesia, during the Group of 20 summit.
That was a rejoinder to the Biden administration mantra that the two nations should compete vigorously while not looking for conflict.
Beijing has bristled at export controls and other measures imposed by the Biden administration, perceiving them as designed to stifle China's economic growth.
But Xi, this time, is likely to seek assurance from Biden that the U.S. will not pile new ones onto China.
