Biden had previously upset the Chinese government with comments that suggested American support to Taiwan, a deviation from a long-held US position of 'strategic ambiguity'.
US ambassador to China Nicholas Burns's comments come a month after President Joe Biden and Chinese President Xi Jinping met at a friendly summit in San Francisco.
While China portrayed the Xi-Biden summit as a victory, the gains seem to favour the US—the most pivotal being the reinstatement of military-to-military communication.
White House says the aim of the summit, to be held at an unannounced location in the San Francisco Bay Area, is to boost communication to prevent an intense rivalry from veering into conflict.
The two leaders are expected to discuss various issues, including restoring military-to-military communication between the two countries, and the conflicts in Israel and Ukraine.
In a video address, China's US ambassador also said both sides believe that it was beneficial and necessary for China and the United States to maintain dialogue.
Biden, Jake Sullivan and Secretary of State Antony Blinken 'discussed the prospect of a Biden-Xi summit in talks with Chinese foreign minister Wang Yi' at the White House last week.
