Chinese President Xi Jinping arrived in San Francisco on Tuesday evening ahead of a summit with President Biden and the 30th Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) Leaders’ Meeting. This is Xi’s first trip to the United States since 2017.
China’s Foreign Ministry has responded to President Biden’s comments Tuesday after the US leader talked up the “real problems” facing the People’s Republic.”I think there is no country in the world that does not have problems,” Chinese Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Mao Ning told reporters. “China has the leadership of the Communist Party and the path of socialism with Chinese characteristics… We are confident that we will achieve better development and gain brighter prospects.”China hopes that the United States “can also truly solve” its own “problems” and give a better life to the American people, Mao added.Wednesday’s meeting between Presidents Xi and Biden will be their first interaction in over a year, with the leaders communicating six times since Biden’s election in 2021, but meeting in person only once.
