US national security adviser meets China's top diplomat, paving way for potential Biden-Xi meeting

US national security adviser Jake Sullivan met in Luxembourg on Monday with the top Chinese diplomat for a "candid, substantive, and productive discussion" at a tense moment between their two countries, according to the White House.
The talks, which hadn't been announced beforehand, ran four-and-a-half hours. They came as a potential precursor to a meeting between President Joe Biden and his Chinese counterpart Xi Jinping, which the White House has said is possible in the coming months.
Disagreements on human rights, Taiwan, trade and China's military expansion have caused strained relations between Washington and Beijing. Biden's vow last month to intervene militarily should China invade the self-governing Taiwan only aggravated the situation.
