Bloomberg: Joe Biden and Xi Jinping virtual summit will be held next week 
US President Joe Biden will hold a virtual summit with Xi Jinping , reports Bloomberg.
Sources said the time of the event: the summit is expected to be held next week. A specific date for the event has not yet been set. The publication noted that ties between the two “largest economies in the world” have improved in recent months. At the same time, Washington is concerned about the expanding nuclear arsenal of Beijing.
The agency's interlocutors did not disclose the details of the talks between the two leaders. According to them, the parties will not consider the issue of opening a US consulate in Chengdu and a Chinese diplomatic mission in Houston. Both departments closed in July 2020 amid deteriorating relations between the United States and China.
On November 6, a senior US administration official said that the parties want to hold a summit. On November 8, White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre confirmed that there is a “agreement in principle” for a virtual meeting “before the end of the year.”
