The war in Israel will come up during bilateral talks between President Joe Biden and Chinese President Xi Jinping and the US welcomes opportunities for China to support Israel and get humanitarian aid into the region, White House national security spokesperson John Kirby told reporters on Tuesday.
Biden will meet with his Chinese counterpart in person for the first time in a year on Wednesday during the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation summit in San Francisco. It will be only the second in-person meeting between the two leaders since Biden took office in January 2021.
