WASHINGTON DC (RIA Novosti): The United States and China, following the summit scheduled for the end of the year, may announce the resumption of the work of the consulates of the two countries and the easing of visa restrictions, Politico writes on Thurs-day, citing sources in the American administration.
According to the interlocutors of the publication, after several months of es-calation of tensions in bilateral relations, Washington and Beijing are considering the virtual summit of the leaders of the two countries, Joe Biden and Xi Jinping, as an opportunity to restart bilateral relations.
“No major breakthroughs are expected during the meeting, but sources say agreements to reopen consulates and ease visa restrictions are likely to be announced,” Politico said.
Both sides expect that the upcoming summit will lead to “the removal of ac-cumulated tensions,” however, according to sources, significant progress on sensitive issues, including violations of human rights in Xinjiang and the restoration of the rule of law in Hong Kong, is not expected.”
