Biden-Xi set red lines that must not be crossed: A nuclear war must never happen
Joe Biden and Xi Jinping

President Joe Biden and Chinese President Xi Jinping held talks for about three hours on Monday in their first face-to-face meeting since the US president took office nearly two years ago, aimed at "managing" differences between the superpowers as they compete for global impact amid rising economic and security tensions.

President Joe Biden on Monday objected to China's "coercive and increasingly aggressive actions" toward Taiwan and raised human rights concerns about Beijing's handling of Xinjiang, Tibet and Hong Kong during his meeting with President Xi Jinping, he said. White House.

In its statement about the meeting, the White House said President Biden told his counterpart Xi that the US would "continue to compete vigorously" with China, but that "competition must not turn into conflict."

The White House said Presidents Biden and Xi also agreed that "a nuclear war must never happen" and cannot be won, "and underlined their opposition to the use or threat of use of nuclear weapons in Ukraine." That was a reference to Russian officials' veiled threats to use atomic weapons after Russia's nearly nine-month offensive against Ukraine has failed.

"As leaders of two great countries, we must find the right way for our relations. The world expects China and the United States of America to manage the situation well. Our meeting has attracted the attention of the world, so we must work with all countries to bring more hope and peace to the world, greater trust and global stability," Xi Jinping said.

The two leaders used this meeting to show their red lines that should not be crossed. But Biden had key demands, starting with a call for Beijing to pressure Russia to end the war in Ukraine, not escalate threats to Taiwan and restore exports of chips and microchips, much needed for the economy. American and global. The main goal of both sides is to build a foundation for relations between the US and China to prevent their further escalation, even though they are now estimated to be at the lowest points in history.

Presidents Biden and Xi were greeted with a handshake at a luxury resort hotel in Indonesia where they are attending the G20 summit before sitting down for formal talks. President Biden will hold a press conference to discuss the meeting,

"As leaders of our nations, we share the responsibility, in my view, to demonstrate that China and the United States can manage differences, prevent competition from even coming close to conflict, and find ways to work together on urgent global issues. that require our mutual cooperation", said President Biden at the opening of the meeting.

Mr Xi said he hoped they would "set the right course for China-US relations" and that he was prepared for a "sincere and in-depth exchange of views" with President Biden.

Both leaders entered the much-anticipated meeting with strengthened positions in their countries. Democrats retained control of the US Senate as Mr Xi secured a third five-year term in October from the Communist Party's national congress.

President Biden told reporters on Sunday that he has "always had open discussions" with Mr. Xi, and that has resulted in both sides being clear about each other's intentions.

The US president will convey to the Chinese leader the White House's concerns about China's economic practices. Taiwan is sure to be one of the topics and Mr Biden aims to stress to his Chinese counterpart that the US will stand ready to defend the self-governing island if attacked by China.

The US president will also make clear his concerns about Beijing's human rights practices, as he has done in their previous communications.

The US leader will also use the meeting to press for a more aggressive stance from China towards the Russian occupation of Ukraine. The Chinese leader has largely refrained from public criticism of Vladimir Putin's actions, while refusing to actively aid Moscow with weapons.
