China’s chief diplomat told his U. S. counterpart that Washington must stop its « misguided actions » in a tense exchange on Monday, days after a blistering U. S. denunciation of the Asian power’s global and domestic policies.
Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi highlighted the schism after the chief U. S. diplomat arrived in Beijing on the final leg of an Asian trip focused on North Korea’s nuclear issue.
Meeting at the Diaoyutai Guest House, Wang told Pompeo that the United States has « stepped up rhetoric over trade tensions » after a raft of tit-for-tat tariffs on billion of dollars in U. S. and Chinese goods.
He also accused the United States of making « a series of moves » on Taiwan — a self-ruling democratic island that Beijing considers a rebel province — and « other issues » that hurt Chinese sovereignty.
« These actions have affected the mutual trust between both sides, and has cast a shadow over the prospect of China-U. S. relations, which completely go against the interest of our two peoples, » Wang said.
