In the highest-level visit under President Joe Biden, US Deputy Secretary of State Wendy Sherman will travel to China this weekend to address deteriorating ties.

The trip is going ahead despite near-daily new rifts between the two powers, including on human rights and cybersecurity, with both sides saying they at least want to try to bring more stability in a relationship often described as the most consequential to the world.

China's state-run Global Times, a tabloid that reflects nationalist views, quoted an expert saying that "a more stable China-US relationship will benefit the world," but also warning there may be no further talks depending on what Sherman tries to discuss. She will meet senior officials in Tianjin, including Foreign Minister Wang Yi, the State Department and Chinese foreign ministry said.

China denounced what it called a "fabricated" campaign by the United States, which rallied allies, including NATO, for a rare joint condemnation on purported cyber attacks.
