Chinese President Xi Jinping waves as he arrives at San Francisco International Airport to attend the APEC Summit in San Francisco, California | ReutersChinese President Xi Jinping landed in the US on Tuesday for the highly-anticipated three-day Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) summit, which will see the leaders from 21 nations converge in San Francisco. However, the highlight of the event is the bilateral meeting between Xi and US President Joe Biden, their second meeting after Biden assumed office in January 2021. Beijing would also demand rollbacks in tariffs on Chinese goods, sanctions on Chinese companies and export restrictions on high-tech products such as advanced chips. The Chinese president is also likely to address US business leaders in San Francisco and instil confidence in them that China is a safe place to invest. President Biden would like to reestablish them.
