Presidents Joe Biden and Xi Jinping meet tomorrow before the G20 summit to ease tension between the two countries, which have become openly economically and politically hostile
Presidents of the United States, Joe Biden, and China, Xi Jinping, will meet tomorrow for the G20 summit to ease tensions between the two countries, which have become openly economically and politically hostile. These are the main open fronts:
Taiwan, endangered island
This ‘de facto’ democratic and independent island, claimed by the Chinese regime, forms the most dangerous front with the United States. While Xi Jinping has proposed reuniting it, by force if necessary, Joe Biden has pledged to defend it, sparking fears of war.
Prohibited Semiconductors
To slow down China’s technological and military development, Biden has banned the sale of the most advanced semiconductors. The veto, which Beijing sees as a boycott with commercial interests, could delay the evolution of their companies by five to 10 years, reducing their revenues.
Ukraine and North Korea
Given Xi Jinping’s implied support for Russia in the war in Ukraine, Biden will try to at least force a commitment from him to oppose the use of a nuclear bomb in the war, as German Chancellor Olaf Scholz previously stated. this year during his visit. to Beijing.
Trade and ideological war
Despite their political differences, Biden has not reversed Trump’s tariffs on China. In 2019, the G20 summit in Osaka allowed Trump and Xi to meet in person and sign a ceasefire in the trade war, but the growing rivalry between the two countries makes it difficult to reach an agreement.
