President Joe Biden is set to meet with Chinese President Xi Jinping at an economic summit in Peru on Saturday. Following Trump’s election win, former Minnesota congressman Mark Kennedy says Biden wants to send the message that he is “still in the White House” until Trump takes office.

Both have maintained a constant power struggle over the past three years as Beijing's ambitions and military muscle have grown.The first face-to-face meeting between the current leaders of the two main world powers was long-awaited because one of them was confined at home amid the harsh pandemic restrictions.
