I don't believe there will be any fundemental changes to the relationship between US and China in the short term. They may be more willing to talk but it is still up to US to re-define this new "normal" where the fences stand and where there are grounds for cooperation. The fact this is reported from the side lines of G7 and QUAD summit is telling. US is bolster it's support among allies, when she is ready for negotiations, it would be from a position of strength. There is much work to be done before we reach the next equilibrium.

SS: at the G7 meeting US president Biden declared '“Everything changed in terms of talking to one another. I think you’re gonna see that begin to thaw very shortly,” Biden confirmed his stance on Taiwan remained unchanged, that the PRC is the only legitimate government of China and the US does not support recognise a Taiwanese declaration of indepence.Although he did refer to Taiwan as 'country' on one occasion. “In the meantime, we’re going to continue to put Taiwan in a position that they can defend themselves. And there is clear understanding among most of our allies that, in fact, if China were to act unilaterally, there would be a response.”

There was also discussion of lifitng sactions of Chinese defense minister Li Shangfu.
