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 will ensure the US government is able to responsibly manage our competition with the People’s Republic of China (PRC) and advance our vision for an open, inclusive international system,” the State Department said in a statement. 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.

Addressing a press conference on Thursday, Principal Deputy Spokesperson Vedant Patel said the Biden administration has launched the China House because the US recognizes the scale and scope and stakes of strategic competition with the People’s Republic of China.

“China House is the key part of Secretary Blinken’s modernization agenda that will help our diplomats meet the challenges of the 21st century,” he added.
