In a series of secret meetings, senior officials from the United States and China have been working to stabilize their fraught relations, particularly after the tensions ignited by the Chinese balloon incident earlier this year. The meetings, which have taken place in various international locations, aim to create a 'Strategic Channel' to facilitate dialogue and reduce the risk of miscalculations between these two global powers.
The discussions, led by US National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan and Chinese diplomat Wang Yi, have focused on vital issues such as Taiwan, economic competition, and security. While the meetings have not resolved fundamental differences, they have allowed both sides to communicate their positions more clearly and potentially lay the groundwork for future cooperation.
