The U.S. will send a high-level delegation to China in the coming days, following up on President Joe Biden’s meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping last month at the G20 meeting in Indonesia.
The move is to continue “responsibly managing the competition” between the two countries and “explore potential areas of cooperation,” the U.S. State Department said in a statement on Saturday. The visit will also prepare for Secretary of State Antony Blinken’s planned early 2023 trip to China.
The delegation will comprise Assistant Secretary of State for East Asian and Pacific Affairs Daniel Kritenbrink and National Security Council Senior Director for China and Taiwan Laura Rosenberger.
