U.S. President Joe Biden and Chinese President Xi Jinping are planning a phone conversation in the coming weeks following a visit by U.S. National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan to Beijing, where he met with Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi. This marks the first trip of a U.S. national security advisor to China since 2016. Tensions between the U.S. and China have surged in recent years, particularly over issues such as technology restrictions and Taiwan. This increased communication is seen as an effort to stabilize relations between the two largest economies.
