The Biden administration has shifted its approach to China by actively seeking talks and establishing working groups, in an effort to salvage the relationship and prevent conflicts. The change in strategy could potentially lead to a meeting between President Biden and President Xi Jinping in November. Critics argue that this approach may divert attention away from sanctions and competition, while China continues to evade military risk reduction, cyber theft, and human rights issues. However, officials maintain that engaging in dialogue is necessary to address concerns and ease tensions. The administration denies delaying actions against China and insists that it is working on regulations to strengthen export controls.
