President Joe Biden’s national security adviser, Jake Sullivan, is set to visit China next week to meet with the country’s foreign minister, Wang Yi, in an effort to maintain open lines of communication and prevent potential conflicts between the two global superpowers. Sullivan's upcoming multi-day visit follows a structured pattern of meetings every six months with top Chinese officials, with the last meeting taking place in Zurich in January.
The Biden administration recently announced its decision to retain import tariffs on Chinese goods, including anticipated increases on products like semiconductors and electric vehicles. This move comes amidst efforts to address trade imbalances and economic tensions between the US and China.
