The Biden administration's top security adviser met with China's top diplomat this week and pledged to keep lines of communication open, the White House said on Thursday, in one of the countries' few high-level meetings since a dispute over an alleged Chinese spy balloon dented relations in February.
National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan and Chinese top diplomat Wang Yi met in Vienna on Wednesday and Thursday and discussed key bilateral and global security issues, including Taiwan and Russia's war against Ukraine, the White House said in a statement. FILE PHOTO
It described the talks as "candid, substantive, and constructive" and "part of ongoing efforts to maintain open lines of communication and responsibly manage competition." US Secretary of State Antony Blinken canceled a planned trip to Beijing after the US shot down a Chinese balloon that flew over sensitive military sites, plunging the rivals into a diplomatic crisis.
Blinken did meet Wang Yi at the Munich Security Conference after the balloon incident, but this did not soothe tensions.
