In what could be their last rendezvous under the Biden administration, U.S. President Joe Biden and Chinese President Xi Jinping are slated to meet on the sidelines of the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation forum in Lima, Peru. This anticipated meeting is set to address a myriad of global tensions affecting their nations.

The interaction is marked by the backdrop of a potentially more confrontational tone in Sino-American relations, especially with the transitioning Washington landscape under President-elect Donald Trump. Discussions are expected to revolve around pressing issues like Taiwan, the South China Sea, and drug control efforts, highlighting the complex dynamics of this bilateral relationship.

In recent moves, the Democratic administration has tightened its stance on China through tariffs and investment restrictions, sparking criticism from Beijing. The Trump administration's early personnel choices indicate a potentially hawkish approach toward China, with significant trade tensions looming on the horizon.
