President Biden is expected to address mounting tensions over Taiwan in his first face-to-face meeting with President Xi Jinping of China on Monday.
It is unsure whether President Biden and Chinese President Xi Jinping will discuss the origins of COVID-19.According to reports, fentanyl exported from China has contributed to 107,000 US deaths last year.Biden has said that he expects to discuss “red lines” and work on areas of conflict with Xi, including the hot-button topic of Taiwan. The self-governed democratic island and staunch American ally officially is considered part of China’s territory by the U.S and the U.N.
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi drew Beijing’s ire in August over her visit to the island nation, resulting in China dropping dialogues over climate change and military-to-military communications, and initiating live-fire exercises around the island.
Biden “will hew fairly close to the long-standing official US position [on Taiwan],” said Jacques deLisle, Asia program director at the Foreign Policy Research Institute. “The benefits [of the meeting] are probably pretty small, but talking is better than not talking,” deLisle added. “Given the state of the relationship, it’s something that helps put a floor under the fall, that stops the decline.”
, have expressed alarm over Monday’s meeting, which they see as risky and rife with opportunities for Biden to show weakness against his international rival, particularly over issues surrounding climate change.
