Another person familiar with the discussions, who spoke on condition of anonymity, cautioned that the two sides are still working toward an agreement for the leaders to meet.
US and Chinese officials have agreed in principle on a meeting next month between Presidents Joe Biden and Xi Jinping, though the two sides must still finalize the arrangements, according to an American official.
The official, who spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss the matter, added that details of the get-together, which would likely occur during the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation summit in San Francisco in November, were still being worked out. China’s embassy to the US cited the city as a possible venue.
