The visit could pave the way for a meeting between Biden and China’s Xi Jinping.
Secretary of State Antony Blinken shakes hands with Director of the Office of the Foreign Affairs Commission of the Communist Party of China's Central Committee Wang Yi during their bilateral meeting in Jakarta on July 13, 2023.Secretary of State Antony Blinken and National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan will meet with China's top diplomat, Wang Yi, during his three-day visit to Washington which begins on Thursday, according to senior administration officials.
While there is no shortage of issues in the bilateral relationship between the U.S. and China for the officials to delve into, the conflict in the Middle East is expected to weigh heavily on the agenda. a U.S. resolution affirming Israel's right to defend itself while calling for humanitarian pauses on Wednesday, while voting in favor of a Russian resolution urging a ceasefire that failed to condemn Hamas, which the U.S. had designated a terrorist organization.
The importance of such communication in avoiding escalation was underscored on Sunday, when Chinese vessels undertook "dangerous and unlawful actions" to obstruct a Philippine resupply mission in the South China Sea, according to the Biden administration. "I want to be clear. I want to be very clear. The United States defense commitment to the Philippines is ironclad," he said.
But House Foreign Affairs Committee Chairman Michael McCaul, R-Texas, and Subcommittee on the Indo-Pacific Chairwoman Young Kim, R-Calif., argued that hosting Wang is a sign of what they argue is the administration's weak strategy for reining in China.
