But Chinese foreign ministry spokesman Zhao Lijian said any such briefing by the United States for Taiwan would violate a U.S. promise to maintain only non-official contacts with the island.
Several analysts have said that both sides may use the talks to seek clarification on each other’s “red lines,” identify areas for cooperation and to stabilise relations, but significant progress is unlikely. “They are able to finally get to meet face-to-face and convey each other’s concerns to the other,” he said.“This face-to-face meeting will provide the Biden administration the best opportunity to test whether Xi recognizes the importance of stable relations with the U.S. to China’s own security and economy,” said Susan Shirk, an author and professor at the University of California San Diego.
