U.S to raise burning issue of hostile relation with China in Alaska meet

The U.S. officials are expecting China to change its behavior to develop its relationship with the largest economy as the two sides prepare to meet in Alaska on Thursday. Washington is full of vision, according to China if it thinks to compromise.

U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken and national security adviser Jake Sullivan will meet China’s top diplomat Yang Jiechi and State Councilor Wang Yi in Anchorage, fresh off of Blinken’s visits to allies Japan and South Korea.

The Asia tour, as well as outreach to Europe, India, and other partners, proofs the strengthened United States after Biden Administration gained power in January.

This will be the first aristocratic discussion between the United States and China of the Biden presidency, which are expected to run into Friday.

China insisting it to be a ‘strategical dialogue’ harkening back to bilateral mechanisms of years past. The U.S. side refused the stance, calling it a one-off session.

China’s ambassador to Washington, Cui Tiankai, on Wednesday told Chinese media that the United States should discard its illusions if it thinks senior Chinese officials would travel all the way to “frigid and icy” Alaska just to “make compromises and concessions”.

Beijing has called for a reset to ties, now at their lowest in decades, but Washington has indicated it will take an uncompromising stance, as it engages with allies and partners to counter what it calls China’s aggression and coercion.
