Senior US and Chinese officials held “candid” talks in Beijing, days after the two countries’ defense chiefs squared off at a fraught security forum exposing limits in mending the bilateral relationship.
Both sides described the talks as “candid” and “productive” in their readouts, with the US State Department saying in a Monday release that the exchange was part of ongoing efforts to restore “high-level diplomacy.” The Chinese side called the exchange “constructive” in a statement on Tuesday. The meeting was the latest exchange in a flurry of high-level diplomacy as the world’s two largest economies try to find common ground for dialog, potentially laying the groundwork for a call between President Joe Biden and his Chinese counterpart Xi Jinping.
Despite those efforts, the relationship remains strained over a series of ongoing flashpoints, such as Beijing’s territorial claims over the self-ruled island of Taiwan and Washington’s campaign to isolate China from high-tech chips with potential military applications.
