"High-stakes meeting between Biden and Xi: Low expectations and a search for clarity"
As President Joe Biden and China's President Xi Jinping prepare for their high-stakes meeting, experts and officials have cautioned against expecting significant improvements in US-China relations. The meeting is seen as more symbolic, aimed at maintaining high-level communication and managing competition. The agenda is expected to cover military communications, human rights, and the South China Sea. Both countries are not willing to make significant concessions, and experts believe that the meeting may pave the way for future discussions rather than immediate solutions. The meeting also comes amid concerns over Chinese interference in Taiwan's upcoming presidential election.
