Sullivan was set to meet with China’s top diplomat Wang Yi and others to discuss issues relating to the Middle East and Ukraine, Chinese territorial claims from Taiwan to the South China Sea, and trade.
Sullivan’s trip is the first by a U.S. national security adviser since 2016. He has held regular talks with Wang with an eye to managing competition between the superpowers, and they last met in January in Bangkok.
