During the meeting, Biden told reporters here on Wednesday, the two leaders are expected to talk to each other about their national interests and the red line. I've met with him many times. And I've told him I'm looking for competition, not conflict. So, what I want to do with him when we talk is lay out what kind of each of our red lines are, understand what he believes to be in the critical national interests of China, what I know to be the critical interests of the United States and to determine whether or not they conflict with one another, he said in response to a question.

China hints at Xi's participation in G20 after endorsement for 3rd term

China on Thursday dropped a subtle hint that President Xi Jinping, who is widely expected to get endorsed by the ongoing Congress of the ruling Communist Party for a record 3rd term, will attend next month's G20 summit in Indonesia. Also, the Chinese Foreign Ministry flaunted the diplomatic success achieved under the 10-year rule of Xi, saying during his reign China has robustly upheld its sovereignty and security. The once-in-a-five-year Congress of the Communist Party of China (CPC) being held here from October 16 is widely expected to endorse an unprecedented 3rd five-year term or perhaps a lifelong tenure in power to Xi later this week besides enhancing his powers through constitutional amendments. Barring 69-year-old Xi, the Congress would endorse a whole set of new top-level leaders and officials, including the Premier, heralding a new administration under the Chinese President who is all set to breach the mandatory retirement for CPC leaders after 10-year tenure.
