Chinese President Xi Jinping is in the US for the APEC summit, marking a distinct contrast from his previous visit during the Trump administration five years prior. Since then, China's robust economy has experienced a slowdown due to several issues, including a property market crisis, high youth unemployment, and escalating domestic debt. Xi is seeking reassurances from Biden on issues such as U.S. tariffs and technology restrictions. Both leaders will discuss issues like trade, investment, technology cooperation, Taiwan, and North Korea. Xi hopes to stabilize economic relations with the US but will also want to appear strong against US pressure.
