Two senior administration officials said that US President Joe Biden and Chinese President Xi Jinping will meet in the San Francisco Bay area next week.
Die Begegnung am 15. November wird nur ihr zweites persönliches Treffen während der Amtszeit von Biden sein.
Es wird umfassend sein, sagten US-Diplomaten, und es wird über Israel-Hamas-Krieg, Taiwan, Krieg in der Ukraine und Wahlbeeinträchtigung sprechen.
Die Beziehungen zwischen den beiden Ländern verschlechterten sich zu Beginn dieses Jahres.
Die Vereinigten Staaten beschuldigten China, ein Spionageflugzeug über seinen Luftraum zu senden. Es wurde von einem amerikanischen Kriegsflugzeug von der Küste von South Carolina abgeschossen.
Last year, former Speaker Nancy Pelosi visited Taiwan, but China broke off communication between the two nations’ militaries.
US-Beamte sagten, dass Mr. Biden „entschlossen“ sei, those channels wiederherzustellen, aber China schien „reluctant“ zu sein.
“This is not the relationship of five or 10 years ago; we’re not talking about a long list of outcomes or deliverables,” said one of the officials.
Der Zweck besteht tatsächlich darin, die Konkurrenz zu verwalten, die negativen Auswirkungen von Risiken zu verhindern und sicherzustellen, dass die Kommunikationswege offen bleiben.
During the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (Apec) summit, which the United States will host in San Francisco from 11 to 17 November, will the Biden-Xi bilateral meeting take place.
Die Vereinigten Staaten rüsten Taiwan leise aus.
China’s representative to the United States, Xie Feng, stated on Thursday at a forum in Hong Kong that China is seeking a number of guarantees.
He erklärte, dass Beijing wissen sollte, dass die Vereinigten Staaten nicht versuchen, Chinas System zu ändern, eine neue Cold War zu führen, Taiwans Independence zu unterstützen und keinen Plan haben, sich von China zu trennen.
At the Hong Kong Forum on US-China Relations, Mr. Xie stated that the Sino-US relations are still facing severe challenges, and there is still a long way to go to stabilise and improve relations.
In “nearly every conversation” with their Chinese counterparts over the past year, US officials say their diplomats had stressed the importance of re-establishing military dialogue, but with no success.
Ein Beamter erklärte, dass der Vorfall der Spionageballons in China einer der Hauptpunkte für die Wiederherstellung der Kommunikation zwischen Militär und Militär sei.
According to the official, “I think the balloon episode underscored the difficulty we had at the time to establish high-level, consequential communications with Beijing.”
“And we’ve made that case continuously and repeatedly.”
After the incident in February, Secretary of State Antony Blinken suddenly canceled a trip to Beijing, calling China’s decision to fly an apparent spy balloon over the US “unacceptable and irresponsible.”
However, the journey went on in June, when Mr. Blinken had what he described as “a robust conversation” with Mr. Xi.
Following his meeting with Mr. Biden, Mr. Jinping will also attend a private dinner with US business executives in San Francisco, according to several US media outlets.
According to the New York Times, guests can sit at the Chinese president’s table for $40,000 (£32,800). Die Preise beginnen bei zweitausend Dollar pro Person.
A spokesman for the National Committee on US-China Relations, which is responsible for organizing the dinner, informed the BBC that there is a planned event with a “extremely senior” Chinese official, though he could not confirm whether it was Mr. Jinping.
Ahead of the meeting between Xi and Biden, US Secretary of the Treasury Janet Yellen has also held talks with Chinese Vice-Premier He Lifeng this week to talk about economic cooperation between the two countries.
Prior to the visit, the Chinese state media outlet Global Times wrote an editorial in which he charged Mr. Biden with “overcoming and eliminating disruptions” between China and the United States.
Die Editorial vom 8. November schrieb: “There is a dark force in Washington that is undermining US-China relations, and the more critical the moment, the more active they become.”
