WASHINGTON, United States -- White House National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan met with Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi over the weekend, officials said Sunday, in the latest effort to ease tensions between the superpowers.
Sullivan and Wang met in the Mediterranean island nation of Malta on Saturday and Sunday, according to a White House statement.
A string of high-level US officials, including Secretary of State Antony Blinken and Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen, have met recently with Chinese officials to prepare a possible Xi-Biden meeting. Wang brought up the issue of Taiwan -- a self-governing, democratic island that China claims but which also receives strong US support -- as a"red line that cannot be crossed in Sino-US relations."
