Bloomberg: Sullivan spoke on the phone with Wang Yi last week

White House National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan held talks with the head of the office of the Commission of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China on foreign affairs and a member of the Politburo of the Central Committee of the party, Wang Yi. The conversation took place last Friday, March 24. The parties seek to reduce tension in their relations. This was reported Bloomberg with reference to sources. They did not provide details of the negotiations.

According to Bloomberg, the US and China have decided not to officially announce the talks due to tensions between them. The publication notes that the conversation took place on the eve of a trip to the United States by Taiwanese President Tsai Ing-wen, which could create even greater tension in relations between the countries.

Tsai Ing-wen plans to visit the US in transit during his visit to Central America. According to preliminary information, she is going to stop in Los Angeles and New York.

Earlier, US President Joe Biden also announced his desire to hold talks with Chinese President Xi Jinping. Archyde.com, citing sources, reported that the Chinese authorities were not interested in organizing a telephone conversation between the leaders.
