U.S. President Joe Biden said Friday he expects to meet Chinese leader Xi Jinping later this year, despite taking a series of shots at the rival power.







Biden held his first meeting as president with Xi in November 2022 in Bali where they agreed to work on managing tensions between the world's two largest economies.







Biden, answering a shouted question after meeting the leaders of Japan and Korea, said, "I expect and hope to follow up on our conversation in Bali this fall, that's my expectation."







Biden is inviting Xi in November to San Francisco when the United States holds a summit of the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation forum, which includes China.
