US President Joe Biden, during a November 16 meeting with Chinese leader Xi Jinping in Lima, Peru, expressed strong condemnation over the deployment of thousands of North Korean troops in Russia.
The White House writes about it.
It is noted that Biden criticized the transfer of significant forces of the DPRK to Russia, which he considers a dangerous stage in the escalation of Russia’s illegal war against Ukraine, which threatens stability and security both in Europe and in the Indo-Pacific region.
The president also expressed serious concern about China’s continued support for Russia’s defense industry.
In addition, at the meeting with Biden, Xi Jinping declared his readiness to work with Trump, but warned of risks “tough competition”
The President of the People’s Republic of China, Xi Jinping, hopes for a “smooth transition” in relations with Washington after Donald Trump becomes the president of the United States again. The Chinese leader said this during a meeting with current President Joe Biden, whose term ends in two months.
The meeting of leaders took place on the sidelines of the APEC summit in Peru. This is the third face-to-face meeting between Biden and Xi and likely the last long conversation for the sitting US president, which lasted about two hours. Both leaders used the opportunity to sum up the relations between the countries in recent years.
Xi Jinping noted that China’s goals for the next four years remain “stable and healthy relations with the United States,” which during the Biden presidency “experienced ups and downs.” In response, Biden emphasized that he is “proud of the progress achieved during this time.”
One of the topics of the leaders’ meeting in Peru was Russia’s war against Ukraine. Biden expressed concern about China’s support for Russia’s defense and industrial complex. In response, Xi Jinping reminded that China advocates a peaceful settlement of the conflict between Russia and Ukraine.
The last time Biden and Xi met was on November 15, 2023, on the sidelines of the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation summit in San Francisco.
Biden then described his meeting with Xi as “constructive and productive”, noting that the leaders had reached agreements, including the restoration of military ties and joint efforts in the fight against drugs.
Xi Jinping flew to the United States for the first time in six years. This is his second meeting with Biden since he took office in January 2021. The last time Biden and Xi Jinping met was in November last year during the G20 summit in Indonesia.
