BEIJING - A Chinese state-backed newspaper criticised the visit of a senior US State Department official to China, saying his visit was motivated more by Washington’s own goal to portray itself as the side seeking communication and not Beijing.
The scathing commentary coincided with the arrival of Assistant Secretary of State for East Asian and Pacific Affairs Daniel Kritenbrink in Beijing, in a visit that the US State Department said will see discussions on “key issues in the bilateral relationship” of the two superpowers.
Some experts have great doubts as to whether the US side can inject some positive energy into bilateral relations ahead of the next US presidential elections, the Global Times said.
