Biden and Xi Jinping's Last Summit... Xi "Isn't Decoupling Solution"

U.S. President Joe Biden and Chinese President Xi Jinping held a summit ahead of the launch of the second Trump administration.

President Biden and President Xi held the third and final bilateral meeting in Lima, Peru, where the APEC summit was held, to discuss U.S.-China relations and various global issues.

China's foreign ministry said Xi told President Biden that he would seek to develop bilateral relations regardless of U.S. regime change, and that decoupling and supply chain disruptions were not the solution.

This is interpreted as a pre-check on Trump's tough stance toward China, which will take office in January next year.

A senior U.S. government official said in a preliminary briefing on the talks that President Biden would raise the issue of sending North Korean troops, drawing attention to what kind of discussions he might have had with President Xi.
