Biden Pushes For High-Level Meetings With Beijing Officials (FT)

US-CHINA

President Joe Biden is set to launch the next phase of his China policy with a push for high-level meetings with Beijing officials after five months of pursuing a hardline stance. The US and China are discussing a possible meeting between Antony Blinken, secretary of state, and Chinese foreign minister Wang Yi at a G20 meeting in Italy next week, according to three people briefed on the talks. The Biden administration has also told Beijing it would like to send Wendy Sherman, deputy secretary of state, to China over the summer. The White House is considering a call with Xi Jinping, too, which would be only Biden's second engagement as US president with his Chinese counterpart.
