As world roils, U.S. and China seek to ease strained ties
By DIDI TANG and

Associated Press
WASHINGTON (AP) — In the
midst of two active and
potentially world-chang-
ing conflicts in the Middle
East and Europe, the U.S.
is hoping to find at least
a small measure of com-
mon ground with China as
China’s top diplomat visits
Washington this week.
Over three days of meet-
ings that begin Thursday
evening, top Biden admin-
istration officials, including
possibly the president him-
self, will press Chinese For-
eign Minister Wang Yi on
the importance of China
stepping up its role on the
world stage if it wants to be
considered a responsible
major international player.
Secretary of State Antony
Blinken and Biden’s nation-
al security adviser, Jake
Sullivan, are expected to
urge China to play a con-
structive role in both the
Israel-Hamas and Russia-
Ukraine wars.
United States and Chinese flags are set up before a meeting between Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen and Chinese Vice Premier He
Lifeng at the Diaoyutai State Guesthouse in Beijing, on July 8, 2023.
