Joe Biden to Meet With China's Xi Jinping at G-20 Summit 首次拜習會有譜 美將對台簡報結果

Indonesia will host the 17th G20 Summit in Nusa Dua, Bali. On Nov. 14, U.S. President Joe Biden will hold a bilateral meeting with President Xi Jinping of China ahead of the G20 summit. It'll be the first time that President Biden and President Xi will meet face to face since President Biden became president.

Indonesia will host the 17th G20 Summit in Nusa Dua, Bali starting Nov. 15. It has been confirmed that Russian President Vladimir Putin will not attend in person. However, U.S. President Joe Biden will meet China's President Xi Jinping on the sidelines ahead of the summit, with Taiwan and Russia expected to be the focus.

Jake Sullivan, US National Security Advisor: “I'm confident that they will feel very secure and comfortable in the United States' position when it comes to our support for peace and stability across the Taiwan Strait and our commitment to the Taiwan Relations Act, which does commit the United States to ensure we're providing the articles for Taiwan's defense.”

China's foreign ministry called on the United States to stop distorting the one-China principle and stop weaponizing trade issues and take real action to defend the role of the market economy.

Zhao Lijian, Spokesperson, Chinese Foreign Ministry: “The United States needs to stop fictionalizing, holding out and distorting the one-China principle, and abide by the basic norms in international relations including respecting other countries' sovereignty, territorial integrity and not interfering with other countries' internal affairs.”

Biden and Xi have spoken five times during Biden's presidency. The two leaders last met in person during the Obama administration, and the U.S. ties with China have since slumped to their lowest level in decades. Biden had expressed that he had made clear to Xi that he was looking for competition, not conflict.

印尼峇里島下週將舉行G20二十國集團峰會，期間美國總統拜登和中國國家主席是否舉行場邊會面備受關注。白宮10日宣布，兩人上任後的首次拜習會，將在14日登場，白宮也表示將會向台灣簡報拜習兩人會晤的內容，讓台灣對美國的支持感到放心。

美國國家安全顧問蘇利文提到：「我相信在我們支持台海和平穩定，以及對台灣關係法的承諾方面，台灣會對美國的立場感到安全與安心，此法案確實承諾確保美國為台灣國防提供資源。」

白宮表示兩位領導人將針對維護和深化美中溝通管道，負責任地管理競爭，以及在雙方的利益一致努力等，包括台灣議題在內進行磋商跟討論。中國外交部10日則強調，希望拜登政府別再扭曲一中原則，干涉中國內政。

中國外交部發言人趙立堅表示：「美方應該做的是停止虛化、掏空、歪曲一個中國原則，恪守尊重他國主權和領土完整，不干涉內政的國際關係基本準則。」

其實拜習過去在擔任副手時期就曾經會面，不過美中關係專家指出，那時候的美中關係與現在完全不同，當前的風險高很多。

布魯金斯研究院學者佩翠希亞指出：「此次面對面的機會非常重要，雙方可以開始設置類似護欄，以確保擁有暢通的危機溝通管道，並確保兩國間的競爭關係不會演變成災難。」

在拜登入主白宮後拜習已經有過5次通話，拜登也強調，美國不會在對台原則上做出根本讓步，美中雙方將在會談表達各自的紅線，以判斷是否因此發生衝突，與如何化解歧異。
