The United States is launching the new Office of China Coordination to help manage competition between Washington and Beijing, the State Department said on Friday.”Today Secretary of State Antony J. Blinken presided over the launch of the new Office of China Coordination, informally known as China House.

China House brings together a group of China experts from throughout the State Department to work on security, economic, technological, diplomatic and strategic issues, the statement said. Improved coordination will result in more consistent State Department policy, and better position the US to more deeply engage with allies and partners, the statement added.
