Xi Jinping

BELGRADE - Chinese President Xi Jinping and his wife Peng Liyuan have sent a New Year's message to Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic, a source in the Presidency of Serbia told Tanjug on Thursday.

It is the first New Year's message Vucic has received for 2024.

European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen told Chinese leader Xi Jinping that the EU and China must address "imbalances and differences" between them.

"China is the EU's most important trading partner," von der Leyen said at the start of the Beijing summit, "but there are clear imbalances and differences that we need to overcome."

European leaders met Chinese President Xi Jinping in Beijing on Thursday for talks dominated by divisions between the bloc and its largest economic partner over everything from trade to the war in Ukraine.

China said Wednesday European Union export policies towards Beijing do not "make sense", on the eve of a high-level summit in the Chinese capital.

Joe Biden & Xi Jinping sought to smooth relations at a meeting, yet hours after the carefully choreographed event, Biden described Xi as a “dictator” & Blinken’s reaction told its own story

U.S. President Joe Biden and Chinese President Xi Jinping agreed at their first summit in a year on Wednesday to restore military communications between the two countries, even as Biden went off script by saying he still considered Xi a "dictator."

The high-stakes meeting between US President Joe Biden and Chinese President Xi Jinping has marked a pivotal moment in their relations. Key takeaways from the four-hour summit held at a San Francisco estate include revived military communication, controlled fentanyl trafficking, and a united stance on artificial intelligence (AI).

President Joe Biden is gearing up for a pivotal engagement with Chinese President Xi Jinping, emphasizing the pivotal goal of reestablishing normalized and consistent communication channels between the United States and China.

The presidents of the United States of America and China, Joseph Biden and Xi Jinping, will meet today at the Filoli estate, 30 miles south of San Francisco, where they will discuss bilateral and global issues for about four hours, sources familiar with the plan of the meeting told the Voice of America (VOA).

The United States and China are the two global economic heavyweights. Combined, they produce more than 40 percent of the world's goods and services.

So when Washington and Beijing do economic battle, as they have for five years running, the rest of the world suffers, too.
