Secretary of State John Blinken and National Security Adviser John Sullivan will meet Thursday in Alaska with Chinese Foreign Affairs Office Director Yang Jiechi and State Councilor and Foreign Minister Wang Yi. U.S. media reported that Beijing plans to use the face-to-face meeting to ask Washington to reverse a number of restrictions imposed on the Chinese Communist Party during former President Trump‘s presidency.
The Wall Street Journal reported Wednesday (17), citing sources familiar with the matter, that China will propose to the U.S. side to lift the sanctions imposed on Chinese entities and individuals during Trump’s presidency, and also plan to propose restarting regular high-level strategic dialogues between China and the U.S., and even arranging an online summit between Chinese and U.S. leaders during next month’s climate leadership summit.
Reports indicate that the Chinese Communist Party wants the U.S. to lift supply restrictions on Chinese companies such as huawei and SMIC, visa restrictions on Communist Party members, Chinese students, and journalists from state-run media, and the closure of the Communist Party’s Consulate General in Houston; if the U.S. is willing to lift or relax these restrictions, the Chinese Communist Party will also consider withdrawing relevant countermeasures.
