(VOR News) – A meeting between Vice President Joe Biden of the United States of America and President Xi Jinping of China is going to take place on the sidelines of the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) summit, which is going to take place this coming Saturday in Lima, Peru.
They are scheduled to have their last meeting during the transition period, which will take place before Donald Trump takes office in January.
Despite the fact that the leaders intend to address the escalating tensions, their discussions are being hampered by conflicts involving cybercrime, Taiwan, trade, and Russia.
Challenges that are increasing.
There are a number of factors that have contributed to the escalation of hostilities between the United States of America and China, including the following:
Those in Washington are fuming over a breach in cybersecurity that involved China and targeted officials from the United States government as well as presidential campaign officials. The attack was directed at certain individuals who held prominent positions within these two organizations.
The Chinese government is opposing both Taiwan President Lai Ching-te’s planned trip to the United States and Vice President Joe Biden’s opportunity to meet with Taiwan’s former Minister of Economy Lin Hsin-i, who extended an invitation to Biden to visit Taiwan. Both of these events are scheduled to take place in the near future.
Beijing also opposes inviting Vice President Biden to Taiwan.
Under the administration of Vice President Joe Biden, the United States government has placed restrictions on investments in Chinese technologies such as semiconductors and artificial intelligence, and it has also prohibited the export of sophisticated processors. These limitations are the consequence of disagreements regarding trade.
As a result of China’s unwavering support for Russia, the relationship between the United States and China is becoming increasingly strained.
Jake Sullivan, who currently serves as the national security adviser to Vice President Joe Biden, stated that “a transition period is a crucial time.” There is a member of the Biden administration named Jake Sullivan.
According to him, it is “a time when competitors and adversaries can see possible opportunity,” and Vice President Biden will emphasize the significance of maintaining “stability, clarity, and predictability” throughout the transition between the Democratic and Republican candidates for the presidency of the United States of America.
Trump’s actions may have consequences.
It is currently taking place that President Trump is getting ready to return to the White House during the event that is taking place right now. Imports from China should be subject to a comprehensive tariff of sixty percent, according to one of his recommendations.
Additionally, he has proposed that individuals who are known for their hawkish attitude be nominated for prominent positions, such as Representative Mike Waltz and Senator Marco Rubio.
Shen Dingli, an expert on international relations who is based in Shanghai, stated that “China most certainly does not want relations with the United States to be thrown into turmoil before Trump formally takes office.”
The importance of China’s recent actions in Latin American countries
Xi’s visit to Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) is a component of his larger diplomatic campaign in Latin America, where he intends to strengthen ties with the governments of the region.
There are a number of things that he plans to do, including signing a free trade agreement with Peru, opening the deep-water port of Chancay, and traveling to Brazil for a state function.
The growing influence of China in the region is a source of concern for the government of the United States of America, particularly in light of the possibility that China will establish military and intelligence outposts in the region. The Chinese government’s official media has reached the conclusion that these assertions are not supported by any evidence.
Ryan Berg of the Center for Strategic and International Studies made the following observation: “Do some of Xi’s audience members stay after his meeting with Biden?
“It is about American CEOs continuing US investment or trying to renew US investment in China and getting rid of the perception that there is a hostile business environment in China,” according to the release. There are other organizations involved in this issue besides the White House and the US government.
