Ongoing planning is underway to arrange a potential meeting between US President Joe Biden and China\u2019s President Xi Jinping at November\u2019s APEC summit in San Francisco, officials familiar with the matter said.<\/p>\n
A sit-down hasn\u2019t been finalized and there remains a chance the meeting falls apart. China has not said if Xi will attend the APEC summit.<\/p>\n
But for now, US officials believe they are on the path toward the second in-person talks between the two men. Biden said recently he hoped to speak to Xi soon.<\/p>\n
