It was not immediately clear at what level such conversations would take place. Biden and Chinese leader Xi Jinping last spoke on July 29 about tensions over Taiwan. The diplomatic relationship between the U.S. and China frayed further after Pelosi's trip, with China canceling its dialogue on climate and military issues and each country summoning the other's ambassador.<br>"What's important for us right now is to make sure that Beijing understands that our forces in the region will continue to operate, to fly, to sail wherever international waters allows," Kahl said. "We will continue to stand by our allies and partners ... even as China tries to kind of chip away at the status quo."<br>Secretary of State Antony Blinken also weighed in on Monday, saying at a press conference, "The reaction now by China with regard to Taiwan and the military actions it's taken, allegedly in response to the peaceful visit of a member of our of our Congress -- that too doesn't help things, nor does the fact that China has been ceasing cooperation with the United States on dealing with climate change."
