WASHINGTON — U.S. President Joe Biden will seek to set a floor to prevent U.S.-China ties from deteriorating further when he meets his Chinese President Xi Jinping on Nov. 14, a senior Biden administration official said.
The official, who briefed reporters Thursday, said the meeting’s main objective was for Biden and Xi to deepen their understanding of each other’s priorities and intentions — and to set so-called rules of the road.
That’s a goal that the White House has been seeking since the leaders’ first call in 2021.
