BEIJING — United States National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan arrived in Beijing on Tuesday to meet top diplomat Wang Yi for tense talks, as China found itself embroiled in fresh security rows with key American allies Japan and the Philippines.

On Monday, US treaty ally Japan scrambled fighters after a Chinese military aircraft's incursion into its airspace, which Tokyo called a 'serious violation' of its sovereignty.
