Top administration officials will meet with their Chinese counterparts for the first time on Thursday as the United States shifts to a more competitive posture with Beijing.<\/p>\n

By <\/span>David E. Sanger<\/span> and Michael Crowley<\/span><\/p>\n

WASHINGTON \u2014 President Biden is engineering a sharp shift in policy toward China, focused on gathering allies to counter Beijing\u2019s coercive diplomacy around the world and ensuring that China does not gain a permanent advantage in critical technologies.<\/p>\n

At first glance, it seems to adopt much of the Trump administration\u2019s conviction that the world\u2019s two biggest powers are veering dangerously toward confrontation, a clear change in tone from the Obama years.<\/p>\n

But the emerging strategy more directly repudiates the prevailing view of the last quarter century that deep economic interdependence could be counted on to temper fundamental conflicts on issues like China\u2019s military buildup, its territorial ambitions and human rights.<\/p>\n

It focuses anew on competing more aggressively with Beijing on technologies vital to long-term economic and military power, after concluding that President Donald J. Trump\u2019s approach \u2014 a mix of expensive tariffs, efforts to ban Huawei and TikTok, and accusations about sending the \u201cChina virus\u201d to American shores \u2014 had failed to change President Xi Jinping\u2019s course.<\/p>\n

The result, as Jake Sullivan, President Biden\u2019s national security adviser, put it during the campaign last year, is an approach that \u201cshould put less focus on trying to slow China down and more emphasis on trying to run faster ourselves\u201d through increased government investment in research and technologies like semiconductors, artificial intelligence and energy.<\/p>\n

Mr. Sullivan and Secretary of State Antony J. Blinken will road-test the new approach in what promises to be a tense first encounter on Thursday with their Chinese counterparts in Anchorage. It is a meeting they delayed until they could reach the outlines of a common strategy with allies \u2014 notably Japan, South Korea, India and Australia \u2014 and one they insisted had to take place on American soil.<\/p>\n

But it will also be a first demonstration of Beijing\u2019s determination to stand up to the new administration, and a chance for its diplomats to deliver a litany of complaints about Washington\u2019s \u201cevil\u201d interference in China\u2019s affairs, as a Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman put it on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

The United States imposed sanctions on 24 Chinese officials on Wednesday for undermining Hong Kong\u2019s democratic freedoms, an action whose timing was pointed and clearly intentional. Mr. Blinken said in Tokyo this week that \u201cwe will push back if necessary when China uses coercion or aggression to get its way.\u201d<\/p>\n

And that is happening almost daily, he conceded, including Beijing\u2019s efforts to terminate Hong Kong\u2019s autonomy, intimidate Australia and Taiwan, and move ahead, despite international condemnation, with what Mr. Blinken has said is a \u201cgenocide\u201d aimed at China\u2019s Uyghur minority.<\/p>\n

It is all part of the initial resetting of the relationship that has marked Mr. Biden\u2019s renewed, if now far more tense, encounters with Mr. Xi.<\/p>\n
