President Biden May Meet with China's Wang Yi on the 27th During U.S. Visit

U.S. President Joe Biden is reported to be meeting with Wang Yi, Director of the Office of the Central Foreign Affairs Commission of the Chinese Communist Party and Foreign Minister, at the White House on the 27th (local time). This has raised expectations for the possibility of a U.S.-China summit next month.

On the 25th, major foreign media outlets cited two U.S. government officials reporting this. According to these officials, Wang is scheduled to meet with Jake Sullivan, National Security Council (NSC) Advisor, at the White House on the 27th. The officials also stated that President Biden may have a conversation with Wang around this meeting.

President Biden met with Chinese Premier Li Qiang last month at the G20 summit held in New Delhi, India. If the meeting with Wang takes place, it will be the highest-level meeting with a Chinese official following Premier Li Qiang.

Wang will stay in Washington for three days from the 26th to the 28th, meeting with Secretary of State Antony Blinken and others to discuss U.S.-China and regional issues, as well as global matters. This visit is analyzed as a practical consultation on the agenda in preparation for the U.S.-China summit expected next month.

Earlier, on the 6th, during a White House press briefing, President Joe Biden was asked whether he expected to meet Chinese President Xi Jinping at the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) summit in San Francisco in mid-November. He responded that "there is a possibility."
