The US and China have only just started renewing diplomatic exchanges after tensions led to a rupture in communications and the trajectory of any rapprochement remains “uncertain,” the White House’s top Asia official said.
“We are still relatively early in the process of this round of re-engagement in terms of dialog and diplomacy,” Kurt Campbell, the White House’s Indo-Pacific coordinator, said at an event hosted by the Center for Strategic and International Studies. The US believes competition will remain the “dominant frame” of the relationship, he said.
