Biden's Push for US-China Military Ties Resumption

President Joe Biden aims to re-establish military-to-military ties with China, as he believes it is in the U.S. national security interest. The restoration of these ties would involve communication at various levels, including senior leadership and tactical operations in the Indo-Pacific region. Biden will discuss this agenda item during his meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping, along with other global issues such as the Israel-Hamas conflict, Russia's invasion of Ukraine, Taiwan, human rights, fentanyl production, artificial intelligence, and trade relations. The relationship between the two countries has been strained, but efforts have been made to rebuild communication and trust.
