STORYLINE:
White House National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan met with Chinese President Xi Jinping Thursday in Beijing as he wraps up his three-day trip to China.
This is Sullivan’s first visit to China as national security adviser and one aimed at maintaining communication to avoid differences over Taiwan and other issues from spiraling into conflict.
Both governments are eager to keep relations on an even keel ahead of a change in the U.S. presidency in January.
Xi said China and the United States should be responsible for history, for the people and for the world, and should be a source of stability for world peace and a propeller for common development.
“While great changes have taken place in the two countries and in China-U.S. relations, China’s commitment to the goal of a stable, healthy and sustainable China-U.S. relationship remains unchanged, its principle in handling the relationship based on mutual respect, peaceful coexistence and win-win cooperation remains unchanged, its position of firmly safeguarding the country’s sovereignty, security and development interests remains unchanged, and its efforts to carry forward the traditional friendship between the Chinese and American people remain unchanged,” Xi told Sullivan.
Sullivan said he was sent by President Joe Biden to “maintain a high-level strategic communication that is essential for responsibly managing the relationship.”
