中美元首即将在旧金山会晤

中国国家主席习近即将和拜登总统在旧金山会晤举行中美两国高峯会谈。 这是习主席自二0一七年之后首次踏上美国国土，也将是中美两国元首面对面讨论䧟入低潮的两国关係。

此次高峯会议除了讨论贸易竞争巴以及乌克兰战争议题外， 台湾问题也将是重要议题之一。这对中美两国近年来之紧张关係会带来良性互动。

习主席此行在旧金山也将出席亚太经合会非正式领导人峯会， 并且和美国民间企业举行餐会 。他也将邀请三十九年前在爱尔华州访问时结识之民间友人相聚， 包括前州长及驻中国大使布兰斯塔德在内， 这充分表达习主席怀念老友之情怀。

虽然从中美两国元首之会晤我们很难看到会有任何重大之突破， 但是， 这两𠆤大国之沟通管道非常重要。 从美国国内看来， 拜登总统之连任将面临重大挑战， 中东以色列在加萨走廊之战争， 造成世界多数国家之反对， 尤其会导致美国非犹太裔不投票给拜登， 国内通货膨胀引起之物价波动， 加上联邦政府又䧟於关门危机 。

对中国大陆而言， 国内经济不振 ，外贸减弱， 国外投资减少， 要推动十四亿人口大国之经济， 也同样回对诸多挑战。

总之这两个全球最大之经济体必须认清目前世界情势， 他们肩负着世界和平和繁荣安定之重责大任， 希望旧金山高峯会能打开一条康壮大道 。

Sino-U.S. Leaders Set To Meet In San Francisco

Chinese President Xi Jinping will meet soon with President Joe Biden in San Francisco to hold high-level talks between the United States and China. This is the first time that President Xi has set foot in the United States since 2017. This will be the world's two top heads of state discussing mutual relations face-to- face. 

In addition to discussing trade competition, the wars in the Middle East and Ukraine, the Taiwan issue will also be one of the most important topics. 

President Xi will also attend the APEC leaders conference in San Francisco and hold dinner with American business leaders. He has also invited old friends from the state of Iowa from the time he lived there 39 years ago and will include a former Iowa governor and former ambasador to China Branstad. 

From the two heads of state meeting, we can’t see any major breakthroughs, but the communication between the two big powers is very important. From the perspective of the United States,  President Biden’s re-election is facing very serious challenges including the wars in the Middle East and Ukraine, high inflation and the fact that the government is again facing another shutdown. 

For mainland China, the domestic economy is sluggish and foreign investment is slowing down. It is a big challenge for the nation that has 1.4 billion people. 

Going forward, the two biggest economies in the world must recognize and face the current world situation. They both shoulder a heavy responsibility for world peace, prosperity and stability. We all hope this summit in San Francisco will bring a fruitful result.
