US-China Summit at APEC Meeting: Navigating Complex Relations and Global Roles

The bilateral relationship between the United States and China is expected to be one of the main focuses during the upcoming APEC (Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation) Leaders' Special Session, scheduled to take place in San Francisco, California. This meeting will provide a platform for the two countries' heads of state to engage in meaningful discussions on strategic and comprehensive issues related to China-US relations as well as significant global matters affecting development.

President Xi Jinping has accepted an invitation extended by his counterpart, US President Joe Biden, to attend the meeting. The Chinese leader's visit is anticipated to take place between November 14th and 17th, during which he will hold in-depth communications with President Biden on issues concerning China-US relations and global peace and development.

In a recent statement, Foreign Minister Xia Wisuma confirmed the visit, stating that both sides would engage in constructive dialogue to find common ground and establish a mutual understanding of their respective interests and concerns. The APEC Leaders' Special Meeting is also expected to address pressing issues such as economic development, regional stability, and environmental sustainability.

While the US-China relations have been strained in recent times due to trade disputes, strategic rivalry, and security concerns, the 30th APEC Leaders' Special Session provides an opportunity for both countries to reset their relationship and work towards cooperation on global issues. The Chinese Foreign Minister emphasized that the meeting will guide the two sides towards finding a way of coexistence that benefits both nations and the world at large.

As the meeting nears, there is renewed interest among American citizens regarding US-China relations and their expectations for Sino-US cooperation. To gain insights into these views, CGTN reporter Zoey 朱珠 conducted interviews with several local citizens on the streets of San Francisco. Their responses indicate a mix of concerns and hopefulness about the future of US-China relations.

As per reports from Chinese News Agency, in his face-to-face meeting with President Biden held on November 14th on the island of Bali, President Xi Jinping emphasized that Taiwan is the core of China's core interests and the foundation of US-China relations, also being an absolute red line in US-China relations. Recent meetings between Chinese and U.S. leaders at G20 summits are believed to have had a cooling effect on China-U.S. relations and geopolitics in general, but also positively impacted this year's APEC conference as per Shenzhen TV's midday 30 Twitter video.

The upcoming meeting between President Xi Jinping and President Biden at the APEC Leaders' Special Session is seen as a significant development in redefining US-China relations. As both countries navigate their complex global roles, it remains to be seen whether this meeting will lead to meaningful progress or serve as another chapter in the ongoing saga of US-China tensions. The world is eagerly watching as these two superpowers engage in high-stakes diplomacy that could shape the geopolitical landscape for years to come.
