Sullivan Praises Biden's China Strategy, Raises Concerns Over China-Russia Ties

Despite Successes, U.S. National Security Adviser Expresses Concern Over China's Support for Russia's War Effort Against Ukraine

National security adviser Jake Sullivan praised the Biden administration's China strategy, stating it has successfully reduced tensions and encouraged Beijing to engage on issues critical to U.S. interests.
Sullivan highlighted the creation of a U.S.-China Counternarcotics Working Group, the resumption of bilateral military-to-military contacts, and an agreement to discuss safe development of artificial intelligence as evidence of the strategy's success.
Sullivan and Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi agreed on the importance of leader-to-leader conversation, with a call between President Joe Biden and Chinese leader Xi Jinping expected soon.
Sullivan expressed concerns about China's 'no limits' partnership with Moscow and possible moves by Beijing to directly support Russia's war effort against Ukraine.
Sullivan indicated that the administration plans to fine-tune China-targeted export restrictions on high technology semiconductors.
