China's economy looks to be at the front of Xi Jinping's mind ahead of his meeting with Joe Biden. 

The two are due to meet this morning in San Francisco ahead of the APEC summit, the first time they've met in a year. 

Xi's visit comes as China's economy is plagued by unprecedented housing prices, and record youth unemployment levels.
