IN PICTURES: Xi Jinping hosts Antony Blinken for talks in Beijing, capping two days of high-level discussions between the US secretary of state and Chinese officials
President Xi Jinping said the United States and China had"made progress" on a number of issues on Monday as he hosted United States Secretary of State Antony Blinken for talks in Beijing.
"Two sides have also made progress and reached agreement on some specific issues," he said, without elaborating. The meeting, which lasted just over half an hour, came after Blinken held more than 10 hours of talks over two days with other top officials. "We must reverse the downward spiral of China-US relations, push for a return to a healthy and stable track, and work together to find a correct way for China and the United States to get along," Wang added.
Blinken"underscored the importance of responsibly managing the competition between the United States and the PRC through open channels of communication to ensure competition does not veer into conflict", Miller said, referring to the People's Republic of China.US officials have voiced fears that China in the coming years will try to seize Taiwan and insist that Washington's sales of weapons to the island are meant only to preserve the status quo.
