U.S. and Chinese officials, including China's Foreign Minister Wang Yi and U.S. National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan, engaged in strategic communications in Bangkok, discussing sensitive issues in bilateral relations and agreeing to maintain regular contact for strategic guidance. The talks, described as candid and substantive, covered topics such as Taiwan independence, with Wang urging the U.S. to treat China as equals and to abide by the One-China principle, as well as the need to prevent competition from evolving into conflict. Both sides emphasized the progress in resuming military communication and the importance of adhering to equality in their relations. They also agreed to pursue additional diplomacy and high-level consultations in key areas, including the Russia-Ukraine conflict, Middle East, and South China Sea issues. However, the U.S. was unable to persuade China to use its influence over Iran to stop Houthi attacks in Yemen, failing to produce a breakthrough on Red Sea shipping attacks. Upcoming formal high-level talks in Beijing will focus on limiting the flow of fentanyl into the U.S., with the first meeting on fentanyl precursor chemicals to be held Tuesday.
