Navigating Uncertainty in U.S. China Policy.
Some of the most powerful U.S. officials have visited Beijing in recent months, as the Biden administration looks to walk a fine line between engaging with and remaining unyielding to China. The latest round of senior meetings, however, may lead to a more targeted approach to U.S. economic security and Washington’s strategy to ensure that national security interests and economic growth prospects are both protected. Certainly, the need to offset the damages caused by a slowdown in growth is a key factor driving Beijing to welcome U.S. visits, even as the United States continues to disagree fundamentally on issues of unwavering interest to China, most notably regarding Taiwan. Since announcing, in October 2022, that the United States would seek to curtail China developing critical technology by choking off its access to advanced semiconductors, National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan has continued to highlight the close link between security interests and defending American advanced technology industries. But regular dialogue with China is expected to push the United States to pursue a more sustainable approach to economic security strategy that would be share by key U.S. allies and partners as well.
