ANCHORAGE, Alaska, March 18 (Reuters) - The United States
expects talks with China on Thursday and Friday in Alaska will
be "pretty tough," but there will be a genuine attempt to find
areas where the two countries can work together, a senior U.S.
administration official said.
The two sides appear poised to agree on very little during
what will be the first high-level in-person talks with China by
President Joe Biden's administration. "We're expecting much of these conversations will be pretty,
pretty tough," the official told reporters ahead of the talks
between U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken and national
security adviser Jake Sullivan and China's top diplomat, Yang
Jiechi, and State Councilor Wang Yi in Anchorage.
"There's clearly ... some serious areas of difference, but
perhaps this is a bit different from ... the previous
administration. I think there's also ... a genuine attempt to
find possible areas where we can work together," the official
said.
Citing climate change, the official said the United States
"will be looking in earnest for some areas where we are going to
be able to work with our Chinese friends."
State Department spokeswoman Jalina Porter said earlier the
meetings would be an opportunity to press China on issues "where
the U.S. and the international community expect transparency and
accountability, and to understand where we may have interest in
cooperating, including climate change."
