Amid China aid to Taliban, threats to Taiwan, Biden-Xi's virtual meet after surprise climate pact
US President Joe Biden & China's Xi Jinping will hold a virtual summit on Monday evening. The two sides look to dial back tensions after a rough start to US-China relationship since Biden took office. The White House is setting low expectations for the video call between the two leaders. Biden looks to stress that the nations need to set guardrails in deepening areas of conflict. White House officials said no major announcements are expected to come from the meeting. The meeting will be the third engagement between the two leaders since February. It comes after US & China this week pledged their cooperation at UN climate talks in Glasgow. There has been no shortage of tension in the US-China relationship in recent months. Biden has made clear he sees Beijing's actions on a number of fronts as concerning. Both leaders also took part in Friday's Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) virtual meeting.
