Top Biden Aide Speaks With Chinese Counterpart as Tensions Flare

  • Discussion takes place ahead of Taiwan leader’s stops in US
  • Jake Sullivan held undisclosed call with Wang Yi on Friday

 

White House National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan spoke with China’s top diplomat Wang Yi on Friday, people familiar with the matter said, with relations between the world’s two largest economies severely strained. 

Sullivan’s previously unreported call took place days before Taiwan’s President Tsai Ing-wen was scheduled to pass through the US en route to an official visit to Central America. In a sign of the fraught state of US-China ties, neither side opted to publicize the call between Sullivan and Wang.
