WASHINGTON, Nov 9 (Reuters) - A virtual meeting planned between U.S. President
Joe Biden and Chinese leader Xi Jinping will be held as soon as next week, a
person briefed on the matter told Reuters.

Spokespersons for the White House and the Chinese embassy in Washington declined
to confirm whether the meeting would take place next week.



Combative U.S. diplomatic exchanges with China early in the Biden administration
unnerved allies, and U.S. officials believe direct engagement with Xi is the
best way to prevent the relationship between the world's two biggest economies
from spiraling toward conflict.

The two sides said they had reached an agreement in principle to hold the
virtual meeting between Biden and Xi before year-end after talks in the Swiss
city of Zurich last month between U.S. national security adviser Jake Sullivan
and China's top diplomat, Yang Jiechi.



Sources told Reuters last month that, given China's domestic COVID-19
restrictions and Xi's reluctance to travel, Washington was aiming for a video
conference call in November.

White House deputy press secretary Karine Jean Pierre was asked at a briefing on
Monday about the timing of the virtual meeting and reiterated there was an
agreement in principle for Biden and Xi to hold it before the end of the year.



She said working-level discussions were underway to confirm details, but
declined to offer specifics.

Stakes for the meeting are high – Washington and Beijing have been sparring on
issues from the origins of the pandemic to China's expanding nuclear arsenal –
but Biden's team has so far set low expectations for specific outcomes.

Experts believe the two sides may work toward an agreement to relax curbs on
visas for each other's journalists and have also said a deal to reopen
consulates in Chengdu and Houston shuttered in a diplomatic dispute in 2020
could help improve the mood.

The Biden administration has said, however, that a deal on the consulates was
not being discussed ahead of the meeting.

A spokesperson for the White House National Security Council said last week that
the planned meeting was part of U.S. efforts to responsibly manage the
competition with China and not about seeking specific deliverables.
