The Biden administration on Friday launched the “China House,” a new office of coordination to ensure the federal government is able to “responsibly manage” relations with China.
Antony Blinken presided over the launch of the new Office of China Coordination — informally known as"China House" — which is set to advance the Biden administration’s"vision for an open, inclusive international system."
Secretary of State Antony Blinken said the new China policy office will help manage the U.S.' most "complex" foreign relations. "We are encouraged that diplomatic channels of communication not only will stay open, but potentially expand," White House National Security Council strategic communications coordinator John Kirby said last week, noting that there are plans for Blinken to travel to Beijing.
A readout from the White House after the meeting said the two"exchanged views on key regional and global challenges," such as Russia’s aggression and threats of nuclear warfare. However, neither Beijing nor Washington made mention of whether any developments were made regarding their differences of opinion when it comes to the war in Ukraine.
