The United States wants to re-establish regular communications with China and President Joe Biden expects to speak with Chinese leader Xi Jinping by phone sometime after government returns to work from the country's parliamentary session, US national security adviser Jake Sullivan said.
The end of China's annual National People's Congress on Monday happens to coincide with an expected announcement by the United States and its Australian and British allies in San Diego of details of their so-called AUKUS pact to provide Australia with nuclear-powered submarines.
AUKUS is aimed at countering China in the Indo-Pacific and Beijing has condemned it as an illegal act of nuclear proliferation. "Competition requires dialog and diplomacy," Sullivan told a small group of reporters on Friday in reference to China while discussing AUKUS.
