https://www.wsj.com/world/u-s-china-agree-in-principle-to-biden-xi-summit-73df82b7?mod=hp_lead_pos4 WASHINGTON—China and the U.S. moved closer to holding a summit between President Biden and Chinese leader Xi Jinping after months of careful diplomatic maneuvering to repair ties. Two days of meetings between Biden, members of his national security team and Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi this week yielded “an agreement in principle” for a summit in San Francisco next month, a U.S. official said Saturday. China’s Foreign Ministry, in its assessment of Wang’s meetings, said, “The two sides agreed to work together to achieve a meeting of the two heads of state in San Francisco.” A summit, should it occur, offers the U.S. and China a moment to reboot ties that earlier this year went into free fall and remain fractious as the two powers continue a global rivalry. Talks between Biden and Xi are the most important channel for setting the tone and agenda in the countries’ relations, according to officials on both sides, especially for China’s top-down driven system. The consensus reached during Wang’s Washington meetings Thursday and Friday fall short of an ironclad guarantee of a summit, another U.S. official said. The U.S. is hosting an annual gathering of Pacific rim leaders in San Francisco in mid-November, providing a convenient time for a separate Biden-Xi summit. With three weeks to go, Beijing is concerned that the U.S. might do something—such as approving an arms sale to Taiwan—that would embarrass Xi or make sitting down with Biden politically difficult at home, according to Chinese officials. Earlier this month, the Biden administration toughened restrictions on semiconductor exports to China that Beijing has decried as economic containment. Washington and Beijing are at odds over a lengthening list of issues from Taiwan, a U.S. partner under military pressure from China, to control of advanced technologies and Russia’s war on Ukraine. Earlier this week, after China harassed Philippine ships trying to resupply an outpost in the South China Sea, Biden warned about attacking a U.S. ally. In the latest Middle East crisis, Beijing has presented itself as an alternative to the U.S., refusing to condemn Hamas for its attacks on Israel, given more full-throated backing for a Palestinian state and vetoed U.S. resolutions at the U.N. Security Council. Both the Israel-Hamas war and the South China Sea came up in Foreign Minister Wang’s meetings with national security adviser Jake Sullivan and Secretary of State Antony Blinken, as did Taiwan, according to official U.S. and Chinese accounts. U.S. officials have said they don’t expect Beijing to guarantee Xi’s participation in a summit and at the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation leaders’ meeting until shortly before the events. Chinese officials have been preparing for Xi to do so, booking hotel rooms in San Francisco, officials said, and Xi has sent unmistakable signals he’s interested. Washington and Beijing have been trying to repair ties for months, after tensions spiraled amid China’s close relationship with Russia in the Ukraine war and over a Chinese balloon that the U.S. said was engaged in spying over North America before shooting it down. The Biden administration has sent a parade of high-level officials to Beijing to jump-start a reset, and other U.S. political leaders have followed suit. In recent weeks, Xi has met with a bipartisan delegation of U.S. senators, led by Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D., N.Y.), and with California Gov. Gavin Newsom. For Xi to see those politicians wasn’t required by diplomatic protocol, U.S. officials said, as Chinese leaders typically stick to meeting their direct counterparts. When meeting Newsom, Chinese state media said, Xi recalled memories of visiting California decades ago. Wang, seeing Biden at the White House on Friday, carried a message from Xi that in part said they should “look toward San Francisco,” according to China’s Foreign Ministry.

牛孙这次见到习了
布公公估计国内不鸟他
牛孙估计在筹划2028, 这个孙子真能忍。
牛孙准备晚了一点了,应该2024上
Descantis, 黑利这种没戏的,太极端了
但凡民主党出个体面一点的就能赢啊,但白等真不行了
嗯,我怀疑被拜登收买了。
哈哈哈求视频!!!
不觉得,牛孙肯定想选的,想选就要开始在国际上抛头露面,提高政治外交资本
三番有好的包子店么?不会是去岭南小馆吧
难道习不是吗?
习从来都是可以避开湾区(旧金山)的,会见科技公司也是选在西雅图,省得来湾区会见被自己屏蔽的Google,Meta太尴尬,不见这俩又说不过去
习肯定不敢去,怕被砸车 😂
砸车不要紧,习的核按钮匣子别放车后座就行
拜大大不是念一半稿子,就停下来环顾四周,寻找小女孩要抱抱,才继续念
这跟习没关系了,这几天搞事儿是给登子上眼药。众院肯定会动手的
底层人才被这些政客忽悠得成天国仇家恨的,中美都一样。
上层人才不管这些,忽悠底层人民就是他们的工作。两个国家关系怎样一点也不影响人家吃喝玩乐。
