Biden, Xi Jinping to Meet at APEC Summit

President Joe Biden is set to meet with Chinese President Xi Jinping at the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation summit in Peru, amid rising tensions as Donald Trump's potential return to the presidency looms. This meeting, expected to discuss critical issues like Taiwan, human rights, and the South China Sea, reflects the complex state of US-China relations, especially with the Biden administration's recent tariff and investment restrictions against China. Biden's foreign policy legacy is under scrutiny, with critics suggesting that his actions have reinforced American imperialism, despite fears of a more authoritarian Trump administration taking over. Simultaneously, Biden's Middle East policy has faced backlash, particularly regarding his support for Israel amid ongoing conflicts, which has diminished his approval among younger and minority voters. This dissatisfaction presents electoral challenges for future Democratic candidates. As Biden wraps up his presidency, he is engaging in diplomatic efforts to stabilize both US-China and Middle Eastern relations.
