The meeting between US and Chinese leaders, Donald Trump and Xi Jinping, is scheduled for Thursday, October 30. The talks will focus on Taiwan and trade issues, The New York Times reports.
The Chinese side will try to persuade Trump to reduce US support for Taiwan, which could strengthen Beijing's position on the international stage.
Trump has said that he intends to focus on trade issues during the meeting, even if Xi Jinping raises the topic of Taiwan. However, the US president noted that Taiwan does not invest enough in its own defense and holds a dominant position in semiconductor production, which requires a review of the US approach.
Analysts note that Chinese officials may use the meeting to pressure Trump to adjust the US position on Taiwan.
The results of the talks may determine the future dynamics of US-China relations.
