What will Biden and Xi talk about at the meeting?

The conversation hasn't happened yet and I don't want to get ahead of myself. I think they will certainly talk about what is happening in Ukraine and the president will make it clear that we will continue to support Ukraine against Russian aggression,” Kirby said.

He explained to VOA that China could play a role in helping the US support Kyiv and help advance Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky's vision for a just peace in Ukraine.

According to the strategic communications coordinator at the US National Security Council, one of the topics of conversation will be the situation in the Middle East. Kirby reiterated that the US would welcome opportunities for China to be willing to be helpful in providing the support Israel needs to defend it, as well as provide humanitarian assistance to those in need.

What they say about the negotiations in Ukraine

Advisor to the Head of the Office of the President Mikhail Podolyak explained on the telethon that there is no doubt that the topic of Ukraine will be one of the key topics of discussion during the meeting on the sidelines of the Biden-Xi APEC summit.

Because today the war in Ukraine lays the foundation, that is, the finale of the war in Ukraine will lay the foundation for the international relations in which we will be in the next certain political cycles. 10, maybe 15, maybe 20 (years – Channel 24) depending on how badly Russia loses. Isn't Russia losing? If it loses as powerfully as possible, then we have 50 years, for example, and this is quite important for China, too,” said Mikhail Podolyak.

According to him, China is not interested, like Russia, in the break in today's international space, because Beijing has an interest in having appropriate rules, but so that they have the sovereign right to look the way they look.

“This is not Russia. China does not have a foreign aggressive policy to the same extent as in Russia. For Russia, a foreign aggressive policy is a way of existence,” explained Yermak’s adviser.

He said that China is taking over the functions that Russia performed just yesterday, because Moscow no longer exists as a global player.

“And because China is interested in a certain strategy for its development, it seems to me that it will be possible to discuss those rules where Russia will not exist as a country that can offer something to someone,” Podolyak assured.
