The US government is expected to send its first delegation to China to warm up relations between the countries. Apparently, Joe Biden is changing strategy in order to be able to deal with Russia in the long run.
US Undersecretary of State for East Asia and the Pacific Daniel Krittenbrink will accompany National Security Council Director for China and Taiwan Laura Rosenberger from December 11 to 14, the US State Department said. They will visit China, South Korea and Japan.
The reason for the visit
In China, Kritenbrink will be tasked with taking the baton from Joe Biden following the US president's meeting with his Chinese counterpart on the sidelines of the G20 summit in Bali in mid-November.
The two leaders had then pledged "to continue to manage the competition between our countries in a responsible manner and to explore potential areas of cooperation," according to the US State Department.
What the leaders had discussed
Biden and Xi had mostly discussed recent issues of disagreement, such as the future of Taiwan, US restrictions on imports of Chinese technology products or even China's influence maneuvers in the world.
Daniel Krittenbrink will also prepare the visit of US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken, which is scheduled for early 2023 and will be the first prominent US diplomat to China in four years.
