China believes the path to a Xi-Biden meeting in San Francisco in November won't be 'smooth sailing'

China’s foreign minister says the road to an expected meeting between President Xi Jinping and U.S. President Joe Biden would not be “smooth sailing." In a meeting between Foreign Minister Wang Yi and Biden, together with the latter’s top aides, both sides agreed to work toward a bilateral meeting in November. In a summary of their discussions released by China’s foreign ministry, Wang said they could not rely on “autopilot” to make the meeting happen. Wang's three-day visit to Washington came at a time when tensions between the countries remain high over trade and other issues.
