Coronavirus travel restrictions and a more belligerent diplomacy style on both sides make constructive communication difficult
In recent days, the administration decided to take a number of actions against China that had been in the works for months, including pressuring the federal government retirement fund to halt investments in Chinese companies and further tightening export restrictions against telecommunications company Huawei.
“The Chinese government is never great at phone conferences or digital video conferences, or I assume Zoom calls, these days. That’s kind of not the way they operate,” said James Green, a senior adviser at McLarty Associates who was the top trade official at the U.S. embassy in Beijing through the first year of the Trump administration.
Kissinger visited Beijing and met with Chinese President Xi Jinping last November. The former U.S. top diplomat encouraged the two sides to improve communication and resolve their differences. “There is definitely communication going on, but the CEO-Chinese leadership engagement I’m familiar with is largely tactical as opposed to strategic,” said a U.S. business source, who wanted to remain anonymous because of the sensitivity of the discussions. “There is so much commercial chaos that folks are focused on the trees, not the forest.”
