The purpose of Xi's visit is to give Biden the finger in person.The Xi visit is a mistake.
Know that any rapprochement will end once Biden leaves office in slightly more than a year. The next US president (likely Republican) will make Biden look like a walk in the park in terms of US-China relations. Any concessions made now will likely be reversed. Why do you think America is reaching out now - during the tail end of Biden's presidency.The purpose of Xi's visit is to give Biden the finger in person.
Wow. The guest hasn't even arrived, and yet the host is already being soooooo unreasonable.
The demands are:
1. End PLA activities in Taiwan's air defense zone east of the Taiwan Strait median line.
2. End "unsafe interceptions" of U.S. Navy and Air Force ships and aircraft.
3. Release all U.S. citizens illegally detained in China.
4. Allow all U.S. citizens who are banned to leave the PRC.
5. Establish "know your customer" requirements for fentanyl shipments to the PRC.
6. Beijing should stop harassing Philippine ships around Second Thomas Bank.
7. China should drop charges against Apple Daily founder Jimmy Lai and pro-democracy activists Hong Kong 47.
8. Release Gulshan Abbas, Ekpar Asat, Kamile Waiit.
9. Lift the travel ban on Aisham Mamut, mother of Nura Turkel, chair of the U.S. Commission on International Religious Freedom.
10. Suspend programs in Xinjiang.
The next administration will also get the finger. The Chinese people rightfully regard America as a mortal enemy, regardless of the person in charge.Know that any rapprochement will end once Biden leaves office in slightly more than a year.

Trump also begged for a deal just before his reelection. Biden is just following Trump's lead. The Next US president would be another big mouth and good for nothing politician as the political environment in the US guarantees only the one who is most willing to bow to wealthy donors win.Know that any rapprochement will end once Biden leaves office in slightly more than a year.

You guys have to realise that Chinese leaders are students of history and the actions they do are also meant to be interpreted by historians not just by the world stage.The purpose of Xi's visit is to give Biden the finger in person.
Sometimes I miss practices of the old days where peace demanded the heads of all the members of the War Party and the petitioning party having to give up their nobles’ children as hostages.

You are worried that Xi will be taken advantage of in event of negotiation, but worry not - this ain't his first rodeo.The Xi visit is a mistake.

I'm also not worried about this, because we've already seen this happen once before under Biden. Recall the meeting between Xi and Biden at Bali where they had some kind of closed door agreement. To this day MFA would say US needs to mean what they say and carry out the Bali Agreement and you won't even hear that name from US government.Know that any rapprochement will end once Biden leaves office in slightly more than a year.

I guess that when US people rather trust Sam Backman with their money that trust whatever MSM talking point is a Chinese plot too.I don't know what world is CNN lives in. However, China is anything but sophisticated in misinformation. US just can't stand for a fact that its lies and misinformation has fall flat.
