US Expects Positive Xi Jinping Visit Amid Tensions

The US expects Chinese President Xi Jinping to visit Washington in September.

US Secretary of State Marco Rubio said the visit will be positive, despite differences between the two countries.

Recently, the US accused China of hacking the 2020 election and condemned China's actions in the South China Sea.

China denies these accusations.

Both countries are working to manage their differences.

Rubio and Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi met in Manila to discuss these issues.

The US and its allies also condemned China's behavior in the South China Sea after a clash with Philippine sailors.
