During the Shangri-La Dialogue, a meeting between the US and China’s defense ministers was canceled due to disagreements over whether to lift US sanctions against the Chinese defense minister.

Daniel Crittenbrink, Assistant Secretary of State for East Asian and Pacific Affairs, visited China, and it is expected that the re-promotion of US Secretary of State Tony Blincoln’s visit to China, which was canceled due to the Chinese reconnaissance balloon incident in February, is expected to be discussed.

Previously, President Biden said at a press conference after the summit of seven major countries in Fukushima, Japan on the 21st of last month, “I expect that the US-China relationship will soon be thawed.”
