US President Joe Biden has publicly expressed his disappointment over the decision of his Chinese counterpart, Xi Jinping, to not attend the upcoming G20 summit in India.
“I am disappointed, but I am going to see him,” Biden told reporters on Sunday during a trip to Delaware.
The news came as a surprise, considering the importance of the event and the global platform it provides for discussions on economic and political issues.
The absence of the Chinese President, who leads one of the world’s largest economies, could significantly impact the summit’s discussions and outcomes. It also raises questions about the current state of US-China relations, which have been strained in recent years due to various issues, including trade disputes and disagreements over human rights.

President Biden’s disappointment suggests a missed opportunity for direct, high-level dialogue between two of the world’s most influential leaders. Such a meeting could have helped ease tensions and foster mutual understanding, especially in an era marked by increasing geopolitical complexities.
Despite the setback, Biden appears to remain hopeful for future interactions with President Xi.
His comments reflect the importance he places on engaging with China, highlighting the critical role that this bilateral relationship plays in global politics and economics.
The G20 Summit is an important international forum where leaders from the world’s largest economies gather to discuss pressing global economic issues. The absence of a key player like China could potentially alter the dynamics of the summit.This development underscores the fluid and often unpredictable nature of international diplomacy. It also serves as a reminder of the challenges that lie ahead in managing the delicate balance of power in global affairs.
While the disappointment is palpable, it is hoped that this does not deter future opportunities for engagement and dialogue. As two of the world’s leading powers, the relationship between the US and China will continue to shape the course of global politics and economics for years to come.

Xi doesn’t want to have to smell a full diaper for several days
like the pope and the queen Margaret had to. Our
illegitimate “president” is a laughingstock as is our
fully corrupt elections.

Xiden is probably disappointed that now Hunter will have to go collect from Xi in person.

Joe needs to ask why Hunter didn’t receive his monthly coke/hooker check last month.

Xi owns Biden and does not have to listen to his babble.
