Biden to dispatch adviser to China as he looks to manage complex US-China relations in final months

Associated Press  

BUELLTON, Calif. — President Joe Biden will dispatch his national security adviser Jake Sullivan to China next week as the White House aims to manage the complicated U.S.-China relationship in the Democrat’s final months in office, according to the White House. “These meetings are consistent with efforts to maintain this strategic channel of communication to responsibly manage the relationship and are a product of the November 2023 Woodside Summit between President Biden and President Xi,” said White House National Security Council spokesman Sean Savett, referring to the leaders face-to-face talks on the sidelines of last year’s Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation summit in San Francisco. This will be Sullivan’s ninth meeting with Wang and his predecessors over the course of the administration to discuss the two economic rivals complicated relationship, but his first visit to China as national security adviser. White House national security spokesman John Kirby said the two sides discussed a visit by Sullivan at last year’s Biden-Xi summit and it comes after months of planning by the two sides.
