US President Joe Biden will hold a hotly awaited virtual summit with his Chinese counterpart Xi Jinping on Monday, according to American media reports.
This upcoming meeting will come just two months after the recent tensions over Taiwan, human rights, and trade.
The American media revealed that the meeting was tentatively scheduled for Monday.
Washington has repeatedly signaled its support for Taiwan in the face of Chinese aggression, but the United States and China reached a surprise agreement on climate at a summit in Glasgow.
In October, Biden said: “I’ve spoken with Xi about Taiwan. We agree we’ll abide by the Taiwan agreement. That’s where we are. And we made it clear that I don’t think he should be doing anything other than abiding.”
According to geopoliticians, the bilateral relations between the world's two largest economies have deteriorated in recent weeks, in particular over Taiwan, a self-ruling democracy claimed by China, which last month made a record number of air incursions near the island.
It’s noteworthy to mention that China always views Taiwan as a breakaway province and has not ruled out the possible use of force to achieve unification with the island.
