US China virtual summit

WASHINGTON, 13 Nov: President Joe Biden will hold a virtual summit with President Xi Jinping of China on Monday as the leaders of the world’s two largest economies confront tensions over trade, cyberthreats, the climate, Taiwan, and human rights.

The summit, which was announced by the White House on Friday, has been in the works since early October, when Jake Sullivan, Biden’s national security adviser, held a six-hour meeting with Yang Jiechi, Beijing’s top diplomat.
