US President Joe Biden and his Chinese counterpart Xi Jinping are planning a virtual meeting. It is supposed to take place before the end of the year, AFP reported citing the White House on Wednesday. The announcement suggested that there will be no actual face-to-face meeting between Biden and Xi at the G20 summit in Rome in late October. So far China’s state and party leaders have left open whether Xi will travel to Italy for the summit. He has not left the People’s Republic since the beginning of the Covid pandemic in the spring of 2020.
