WASHINGTON: US Secretary of State Antony Blinken met with Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi on Sunday in Rome and raises concerns over human rights, only in the second face-to-face session because of tensions between the two strengths managed.
Blinken reveals the opposition to the action by China “who run counter for our values and interests …
including actions related to human rights, Xinjiang, Tibet, Hong Kong, the East and South China Sea, and Taiwan,” spokesman said Department of Foreign Affairs) in a statement.
Blinken also recorded an area where he said the interests of the US and China intersected and they could work together, including “DPRK, Burma, Iran, Afghanistan, and the climate crisis.” The meeting in Rome, where the two Diplomats attended the G20 Summit, was the first between Blinken and Wang since the storm session in Alaska in March where the Chinese delegation fostered the TV side during the camera.
High tensions between the two largest economies in the world on a large number of fronts, including trade, human rights, Taiwan and Pandemic Covid-19.
“Secretary Blinken underlined the importance of maintaining open communication lines to manage competition between the United States and the Chinese People’s Republic,” said the statement.
Earlier this week, Washington ordered China Telecom Americas to stop its services within 60 days – ended almost two decades of operations in the country and accumulated further pressure between the two countries.
US President Joe Biden has emphasized in the future with a hard-line trade policy towards Beijing widely in line with his predecessor Donald Trump, whose direction approach sends tensions to soar.
Tensions have also surged above Taiwan in recent months.
China claims its own island of government, US island belts itself, and swears it will take it a day – forcefully if necessary.
Earlier this month, Washington confirmed that a small number of US troops were on the island to help training.
On Tuesday, Blinken called for Taiwan to be allowed greater involvement in UN agencies, although Beijing insisted on not having a place at the world diplomatic stage.
Biden has also reprimanded Beijing over crackling Saber in Taiwan.
He said this month the US was ready to defend the island of the Invasion of China – even though the White House quickly walked back to the back of the comment in the middle of the warning from Beijing, continuing the ambiguity strategy on whether it would intervene militarily if China attacked China.
