CIA Director William Burns traveled secretly to Beijing last month, becoming the most senior U.S. official to visit China since the U.S. shot down a Chinese surveillance balloon.
An anonymous US official said that CIA Director William Burns met with Chinese counterparts last month to "emphasize the importance of maintaining open lines of communication."
By Haley Britzky, Jennifer Hansler and Alex Marquardt, CNN (CNN) — CIA Director Bill Burns secretly traveled to China last month, a US official told CNN Friday, amid efforts by the United States to reset relations with Beijing after a year of extremely heightened tensions.
CIA Director William Burns went to Beijing in May to meet with Chinese counterparts, a U.S. official said on Friday, in what is the highest level visit by a Biden administration official since a suspected Chinese spy balloon was shot down by American forces.
The visit came after Beijing had broken off most regular calls between senior diplomatic, intelligence and military officials in the aftermath of the U.S. shootdown of a Chinese spy balloon in February.
