In August 27-29 talks in Beijing, Sullivan will discuss issues ranging from Taiwan to bilateral military talks and the US fentanyl crisis, as well as China’s support for Russia’s defense industry and tensions in the South China Sea, North Korea, the Middle East, and Myanmar, a senior US administration official told reporters.
“I would expect that to continue, and we look for opportunities to continue that through the end of the year,” the official said. Shortly after the trip announcement, Washington said it was imposing sanctions on more than 400 entities and individuals for supporting Russia’s war effort in Ukraine, including Chinese companies US officials believe are helping Moscow skirt Western sanctions and build up its military.The senior official said Sullivan’s visit should not be associated too closely with the election. “That’s not the point. We’ve tried to do these Wang Yi-Jake Sullivan touch points about once a quarter.
The official added that Sullivan would push for a resumption of theater-level military-to-military talks with China, and was also likely to raise US concerns about China’s “increased military, diplomatic and economic pressure against Taiwan.” “The fight against illicit precursor chemicals and fentanyl is…a constantly evolving trade, and so there are always things we need to push forward,” the official added.
