According to the chief of American diplomacy, among NATO members there is a "growing similarity" in approaches to challenges from the PRC, taking into account competition with the country.

“We have said many times that we do not want conflict with China, we want to avoid it, we do not need a new cold war, we do not want to divide our economies.

We just want to clearly look at the challenges posed by the PRC, ”RIA Novosti quotes Blinken.

He added that in the near future there will be a meeting within the framework of the dialogue between the United States and the European Union, the theme of which will be interaction with China.

Earlier, US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken said that he plans to visit China in early 2023 on behalf of President Joe Biden.

Subsequently, John Kirby, strategic communications coordinator at the White House National Security Council, noted that the meeting of US and Chinese leaders Joe Biden and Xi Jinping at the G20 summit did not reset relations between the countries.
