Before the upcoming meeting, a senior White House official spoke to journalists about an American “design” on “strengthening communications in a responsible way” between the United States and China.
At the same time, Washington wants to define “clear guarantees and rules”, in order for “the competition not to turn into a struggle” between the two forces.
The official said that “in the last contact between the two presidents last July, the teams of each president were directed to work to arrange a meeting between Biden and Shi,” the official said.
He added: “There is some progress on the level of communication between Washington and Beijing, and Biden is looking at his meeting with something to strengthen the communication channels.
”
He considered that one of the goals of the meeting “finding common points that the United States and China can work together without disputes,” adding: “We are satisfied with the level of seriousness that everyone shows to move forward with these discussions. ”
He also stressed that Biden “will be keen to deliver the messages of our allies in the region and their concerns, especially Japan and South Korea. “.
