nick burns is signaling trying for an opening to china, but so far china doesn't seem to be listening. >> reporter: trying is the keyword, andrea. u.s. ambassador nicholas burns told me that the u.s. is ready to talk to china, but china doesn't seem interested in giving any high level access to u.s. officials, that includes a phone call between president biden and china's xi jinping which has been talked about since february in the fallout of that chinese balloon being shot down, as well there's now no timeline to reschedule that canceled visit of secretary of state blinken. now, ambassador burns made these comments to me in an interview and among the clearest signals yet that this administration is trying to revive any dialogue at any level with china and isn't having much luck. there's also what we've noticed publicly and in private conversations with u.s. officials a change in the language, a tempering of the language around china, in particular when it comes to china's desire to play a role of mediator in ukraine. here is more of what ambassador burns had to say. >> we have concer

our ambassador nick burns is now being allowed to see some more senior officials than he's been ablee in the past, and this lack of communication is a rerobl of told war. t hotne the soviets and t even in '90s with the russians. we had agreements on how to deal wins dents like incidents at sea and how to make sure control. we don't have any kinds of those communications with the chinese today, so my highest priority, frankly, would be direct communications linked between our commanders in hawaii and the chinese commanders in eastern china, but it's also important for the leaders to talk and to begin to figure out, you know, we are going to be in this contest for a long time, and let just face that reality. >> recently beijing reportedly appointed their state security czar to start cracking down on u.s. firms that do business in china. it's getting tough on that front. >> it's getting tough, and when xi jinping made very clear at the party congress a few months ago was that sit goi econ china. isn't iredible? maintaining and sustaining the power of the communist party of china and tha

nick burns wasn't able to meet was he's a chinese carter powered for, but uh well after he arrived in beijing. but now i think the chinese side is showing a stronger your interest in resuming some of the regular communication channels. there has been signs of resumed operational level engagement between the 2 sides and not necessarily on highly sensitive and national security issues, but you know, less. so this is the issue is climate change, economic relationship to search for? i think that the mysteries. uh, what do you mean it's on china is parts to gradually stabilize the us china relationship because china is still very much dependence american technology resources, investments, etc. mr. joe, you recently published an article in foreign affairs and we've pulled a quote from the everyone to share with our viewers. because we think this, this really got our attention. you write the dynamics among china's political leadership. it's policy leads and the broader public have generated an internal feedback loop that is not entirely within, she's comprehension or control. this could resu

i think first of all, nick burns, somebody i've known for a long time, he was our ambassador to nato,ated this international scene is. the reason we, the united states, are making these overtures right now, willie, is pretty simple. it's because the relations have really cratered over the last six months. everything from spy balloons to worsening trade, to cyber conflict to arguments about the south china sea. so none of that is good for the global environment. and here we also get to ukraine. we want russia to -- we want russia not to get support from china. the best way to do that is to have good relations, reasonably good, between china and the united states. there's a big game of risk for it here. >> admiral, it's so interesting. i was at a global citizen event last week and interviewed president macron, and here we're talking about the things he thinks need to be done to help on the issue of climate change. and top of his list, the united states and china getting together and starting to talk again. he said it's one of the reasons he went there on a trip that was seen as controve
