The United States and China are planning for a call between leaders in the coming weeks after "candid, substantive and constructive" discussions in Beijing between White House national security adviser Jake Sullivan and Chinese top diplomat Wang Yi.
Earlier, Sullivan said the United States and China are working to ensure the competition between them does not veer into conflict.
“President Biden has been very clear in his conversations with President Xi that he is committed to managing this important relationship responsibly,” Sullivan told Wang during earlier talks.
The goal of his visit, which lasts through Thursday, is limited — to try to maintain communication in a relationship that broke down for the better part of a year in 2022-23 and was only nursed back over several months.
