WASHINGTON: The US and China have agreed to work together toward an expected summit between presidents Joe Biden and Xi Jinping next month, US officials said on Friday (Oct 27), following hours of meetings between Chinese foreign minister Wang Yi and senior US diplomats in Washington.
for an hour, talks that the White House described as a"good opportunity" in keeping lines of communication open between the two geopolitical rivals with deep policy differences.
There were also"frank exchanges" between Blinken and Wang over the erupting conflict in the Middle East. "Obviously, Chinese leaders often confirm publicly much closer to a trip, so I will leave it to the Chinese side to figure out if and when they make that announcement," the official said.
The Biden administration has seen direct leader-level engagement with Xi as particularly important in managing tensions as it seeks to prevent relations from veering into conflict. But some in Washington have questioned whether a slate of mostly unreciprocated US cabinet-level official visits to Beijing over the past six months, including by Blinken, Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen and Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo, played into Beijing's hand.
"We expressed our deep concern with the situation and pressed China to take a more constructive approach, and that would include, of course, their engagements with the Iranians, to urge calm," another of the senior administration officials said.
