Chinese leader Xi Jinping and US President Joe Biden will meet for the first time in over a year. One of the main topics of conversation between the presidents will be the Russian-Ukrainian war.

Previously, the White House announced its intention to reduce tensions in relations and resume normal communication with China.

So far, it is known that the head of the People's Republic of China has already arrived by plane in San Francisco, where he will have a meeting with Biden at an unannounced location in the Bay Area, and then attend the annual summit of the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) forum.

Before Xi's arrival in the United States, White House national security spokesman John Kirby explained that the head of the White House, first of all, plans to discuss with the guest the conflict between Israel and Hamas in the Gaza Strip, as well as US support for Ukraine in its fight against Russian aggression.

Economic issues will also be on the agenda. Washington also hopes for China's help in solving the critical problem of the Chinese synthetic drug fentanyl.

Please reduce contacts with the Kremlin

Many experts believe that the consequences of the historic meeting between Xi and Biden will affect the geopolitical situation for the coming years. Thus, Israeli journalist Zilber suggested that the United States will ask China to reduce its assistance to Russia. After all, after the West applied unprecedented sanctions against the economy of the aggressor country, Beijing became its support.

At the same time, China’s position reveals a readiness to negotiate with Washington to satisfy the interests of both sides, because it also does not benefit from a long prolongation of the war.
