Officials from the United States and communist China met in Switzerland on Jan. 18, where they pledged to manage their differences and prevent ongoing competition between the two nations from spiraling into conflict.

U.S. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen met with Chinese Vice Premier Liu He in Zurich for the highest-ranking meeting between the United States and China since President Joe Biden met with Chinese leader Xi Jinping in November 2022.
