As Secretary of State Antony Blinken and national security adviser Jake Sullivan go into talks with their Chinese counterparts in Alaska this week, Washington wants to see “deeds, not words” from Beijing if it wants to improve ties, according to senior administration officials.
Blinken and Sullivan are scheduled to meet with China’s foreign minister Wang Yi and senior foreign policy diplomat Yang Jiechi in Anchorage, Alaska, on March 18. The meeting will mark the Biden administration’s first major in-person meeting with Chinese officials.
