It is reported that Yang Tao, the director of the North American Oceania Department of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of China on Monday (July 31), discussed these arrangements with senior US officials in Washington, and it is expected that officials of the two countries will finalize the details in the next few months.
But the fourth -informed person said that the two sides have not reached the final decision.He said that China and the United States considers a series of meetings to set a clear goal for the difficult problems facing the two countries, but Washington will not start a formal dialogue like the previous government.
Gragel, chairman of the China House of Representatives, has described Sino -US high -level interaction as "Zombie Engagement", criticizing too much attention to the process rather than results.
Sino -US relations have fallen to freezing because of a series of issues such as Taiwan Strait, scientific and technological warfare, and export control.Sino -US leaders reached a consensus at the Bali of Bali, Indonesia last November to set up a fence for relations between the two countries to prevent competition from conflicting.In recent months, senior officials such as the Secretary of State Brills, Treasury Secretary Yellen, and Climate Special Envoy Cry have visited China one after another.Further tightening concerns eased.

"
Ryan Hass, a senior researcher at the Brucks Society, said that the United States is not interested in "negotiations for negotiations" in the United States. U.S. officials have not made any concessions in exchanges with China."Go down".
It is also reported that US President Biden will issue administrative orders next week to screen for overseas investment that promotes sensitive technology to China.Reuters quoted those familiar with the matter and said that most of the investments covered by administrative orders must notify the US government in advance, and certain investments are prohibited.These regulations will not take effect immediately, and the official will first solicit opinions on proposal.
