President Biden will meet with Chinese President Xi Jinping next Wednesday, on Nov. 15, in the San Francisco Bay area, according to two senior administration officials. The president and the U.S. will work on reopening important military communications channels that have been cut off, managing competition and addressing security issues.
This will be the two leaders' seventh interaction during Mr. Biden's presidency and the pair's second in-person meeting. In a briefing with reporters, senior administration officials said the U.S. realizes the increased tensions between the U.S. and China have altered their relationship and shifted key priorities for the meeting of the two presidents.
"This is not the relationship of five or 10 years ago — we're not talking about a long list of outcomes or deliverables. The goals here really are about managing the competition, preventing the downside of risk of conflict and ensuring channels of communication are open," one official said.
