A top White House official says US and China are working to avoid conflict at talks in Beijing

Associated Press

BEIJING (AP) — A top White House official has arrived in China for talks on a relationship that has been severely tested during President Joe Biden’s term in office. Jake Sullivan, the national security adviser, will be in China from Tuesday to Thursday. He’s been Biden’s point person for often unannounced talks with the Communist Party’s top foreign policy official to try to manage the growing differences between Washington and Beijing. Sullivan’s trip is meant to maintain communication in a relationship that broke down for the better part of a year in 2022-23. His meetings could lay the groundwork for a possible final summit with Chinese leader Xi Jinping before Biden steps down in January.
