Trade will not play a central role when the Washington delegation meets with their China counterparts in Alaska next week, National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan told reporters on March 12.
Sullivan and Secretary of State Antony Blinken will join talks with China’s foreign minister Wang Yi and senior foreign policy diplomat Yang Jiechi on March 18, marking the two countries’ first top-level meeting in person since President Joe Biden took office.
Asked about trade sanctions on China, he said that he doesn’t expect “the phase one trade deal is going to be a major topic of conversation next week.”
“This is our effort to communicate clearly to the Chinese government how the United States intends to proceed at a strategic level, what we believe our fundamental interests and values are, and what our concerns with their activities are,” Sullivan said in a press briefing at the White House.
The United States will voice concerns about the regime’s actions on Hong Kong, Xinjiang, Taiwan, and issues raised by Asian allies on Friday—Beijing’s “coercion of Australia, their harassment around the Senkaku Islands, their aggression on the border with India,” Sullivan said.
“So this will stay more in that zone than get into the details of questions around tariffs or export controls,” he said.
He added that they will convey the message “at a broad level” that the administration will take action to protect U.S. technology from being used in ways that undermine American values or security.
“But in terms of the details of these issues, we have more work to do with our allies and partners to come up with a common approach, a joint approach, before we go sit down point by point with the Chinese government on these issues,” he said.

THAT BIDEN WIN IS AN AWARD TO CHINA FOR INVADING US USING COVID 19
Every time an American looked at an item for where it was made in it came from China. Now China’s reliance making everything was being threatened by a change in leadership in America which was a major consumer of those products. When Americans hailed their leaders decision to make many of them in their country US. Their politburo worried.
Worse yet opponents to the Chinese regime in power had its citizens protesting its policies , as in Hong Kong, since that change in American leadership wave the American flag and present Trump’s name when doing so. All of which presented those in power the need to destroy that leader Donald Trump.
Would a runaway plague created by a nation which could threaten populations of an enemy cause them to react by demanding extreme restriction of movement by its population to prevent its spread ? Thus wind up fragmenting its economy and create defeat for that leader’s upcoming election.When they released it that was the CCP intention but it got away from them and went world wide and
THE CCP SHOULD BE MADE TO PAY FOR THAT INVASION
China was the bigger winner of elections in 2020, not Biden.
Biden will barely last couple of years. While manufacturing jobs list to China will last decades.
negotiator and spokesperson on trade issues.
The optics aren’t good on that.
She’s Pro-China Pro-US........wonder if she has family in China???? We know how that works.
“But in terms of the details of these issues, we have more work to do with our allies and partners to come up with a common approach, a joint approach, before we go sit down point by point with the Chinese government on these issues,” he said.”
In other words diddling. All talk. No action.
We’re f’d.
Sullivan will be as strong and effective as a bowl of soggy rice noodles on a hot summer day in Wuhan.
I believe she is Taiwanese. Which is possibly event worse as the CCP can simply disregard or discredit anything she says. She’s a traitor in their eyes.
Either or it’s not good for us as I see it.
