Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi wrapped up three days of talks in Washington saying the onus is on Washington to take active moves to bolster the troubled bilateral relationship.
Secretary of State Antony Blinken shake hands with China’s Foreign Minister Wang Yi after a bilateral meeting at the State Department in Washington, Thursday, Oct. 26, 2023. Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi wrapped up three days of high-level talks in Washington — including an hourlong session with President Biden — saying the onus is on Washington to take active moves to bolster the troubled bilateral relationship.
A Chinese Foreign Ministry statement over the weekend said Mr. Wang urged his American hosts to “return to Bali” — a reference to the November 2022 Xi-Biden meeting at a Group of 20 summit that was supposed to usher in a more normal and productive relationship. Mr. Wang, making the first trip by a Chinese foreign minister to Washington in four years, told a group of China specialists and business leaders Saturday that the two sides must “eliminate interference, overcome obstacles, enhance consensus and accumulate results” if the relationship is to improve.
The U.S. side raised a number of issues as well, including Taiwan, the cases of Americans imprisoned or unable to leave China, the role of Chinese suppliers in the U.S. fentanyl drug crisis, and unfair Chinese trade and commercial practices, as well as the human rights situation in Xinjiang, Hong Kong and elsewhere.
