China, US must choose cooperation or conflict, says top diplomat FMTNews FMTWorld
China’s foreign minister Wang Yi also said Beijing has no compromise when it comes to Taiwan.
Neither Washington nor Beijing has confirmed a meeting between Blinken and Xi, China’s most powerful leader in decades, whose meeting with President Joe Biden in November in Bali raised cautious hopes for a thaw in the relationship.“The secretary of state’s trip to Beijing this time comes at a critical juncture in China-US relations,” Wang told Blinken, according to a readout from Chinese state broadcaster CCTV.
Ahead of their meeting, Blinken and Wang offered polite smiles before the cameras and exchanged pleasantries. US officials say that they did not expect major breakthroughs from Blinken’s talks but they hope to reopen regular lines of communication to prevent mishaps from escalating into conflict. Blinken stressed “the importance of diplomacy and maintaining open channels of communication across the full range of issues to reduce the risk of misperception and miscalculation”, Miller added.
