We hope that the U.S. can develop an open and inclusive circle of
friends in the Asia-Pacific region, and do more to promote peace and
development, instead of creating turmoil and chaos in the
region, Wang Wenbin, spokesperson of the Chinese Foreign Ministry,
said at a regular press briefing in Beijing on Friday.
U.S. President Joe Biden arrived in South Korea on Friday for his first summit
with new South Korean President Yoon Suk-yeol. U.S. National Security Adviser
Jake Sullivan said Wednesday that Biden's trip to Asia is not about
confrontation with China.
Wang said China hopes that the U.S. will match their words with deeds and work
with other countries in the Indo-Pacific region to promote unity and
cooperation, instead of plotting division and confrontation.
In other news, China on Thursday rejected the United States' call for inviting
the Taiwan region to the upcoming annual meeting of the World Health

In a statement, U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken said on Wednesday that
they "strongly advocate" for the WHO to invite Taiwan to participate

"observer".
