US President Joe Biden said Sunday he will seek to establish “red lines” in America’s fraught relations with Beijing when he holds high-stakes talks with Chinese counterpart Xi Jinping.<\/p>\n
Biden said he goes into Monday’s encounter on the sidelines of a G20 summit in Indonesia stronger after his Democratic Party’s unexpected success in midterm elections they were forecast to lose heavily.<\/p>\n
Washington and Beijing are at loggerheads over issues ranging from trade to human rights in China’s Xinjiang region and the status of the self-ruled island of Taiwan. Biden said he expected candid talks with Xi.<\/p>\n
“I know Xi Jinping, he knows me,” he added, saying they have always had “straightforward discussions”.<\/p>\n
The two men have known each for more than a decade, since Biden’s time as vice-president, but Monday will see them meet face-to-face for the first time in their current roles.<\/p>\n
“We have very little misunderstanding. We just got to figure out what the red lines are,” Biden said.<\/p>\n
White House officials say Biden will push China to use its influence to rein in North Korea after a record-breaking spate of missile tests sent fears soaring that the reclusive regime will soon carry out its seventh nuclear test.<\/p>\n
Biden had a fillip overnight with the news that the Democrats retained their effective majority in the US Senate thanks to Catherine Cortez Masto winning in Nevada.<\/p>\n
“I know I’m coming in stronger,” he said of the midterms’ impact on his talks with Xi.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
