It was a week of high-level diplomacy between
China and the United States.
Top Chinese diplomat Wang Yi held two days of talks in
Vienna with President Biden’s national security adviser, Jake Sullivan.
China’s Foreign Ministry says
the meetings were “candid, in-depth, substantive and constructive” and focused
on removing obstacles in Chinese-U.S. relations and on ways to stabilize the
relationship from deterioration.
Wang Yi elaborated on China’s position on Taiwan, and the two sides exchanged
views on the Asia-Pacific region and Ukraine.
Sullivan has said the United States wants to “de-risk and diversify” its relationship
with China, not decouple. CGTN special commentator Jiang Shisong discusses
that here.
Earlier in the week, State Councilor and Foreign Minister Qin Gang met with
U.S. Ambassador to China Nicholas Burns in Beijing. Qin told the ambassador
that China-U.S. relations are not only significant for the two countries but
for the whole world.
More headlines:
· Qin Gang left for a European trip that has
taken him to Paris, Berlin, and Oslo. China's effort
to end the Ukraine conflict figured
prominently.
· China is sending its special envoy on the Ukraine
crisis to Europe next week. Li Hui will visit
