Biden will push China to resume military ties with U.S., official says

WASHINGTON (Reuters) — U.S. President Joe Biden wants to re-establish military-to-military ties with China, White House national security adviser Jake Sullivan said on Sunday, days before the president and the Chinese leader are set to meet.

Biden will meet Chinese President Xi Jinping in person for the first time in a year on Wednesday during the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation summit in San Francisco.

It will be only the second in-person meeting between the two leaders since Biden took office in January 2021.
