Jake Sullivan to become first national security adviser to travel to China since 2016

Jake Sullivan, the president’s national security adviser, will travel to Beijing, China, next week to meet with the Chinese foreign minister and other high-level officials in what marks the first time in nearly a decade that someone in his position has gone to the country.

Sullivan will be in China from Aug. 27 to 29, and he will meet with Foreign Minister Wang Yi for the fifth time since the administration began, according to a senior U.S. administration official.
