(MENAFN) Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi stated that the US must modify its stance toward China in order for the two countries to cooperate on the international arena at a meeting with their American counterparts on Friday in New York.
“China-US relations are at a critical juncture, and it is urgent for both sides to establish a correct way for the two major countries to get along with each other in a responsible attitude towards the world,” Wang informed Blinken, as per a statement from the Chinese Foreign Ministry.
Wang also highlighted that by pledging to support Taiwan, Washington is undermining China’s sovereignty and “sending a very wrong and dangerous signal.”
China considers the self-governing island its territory and opposes any form of foreign diplomatic and military support to Taipei. “The issue of Taiwan is China’s internal affair, and the US has no right to interfere,” Wang asserted.
As per US State Department representative Ned Price, Blinken talked about the need to keep open lines of communication and discussions with Beijing and noted that Washington is “committed to maintaining peace and stability across the Taiwan Strait, consistent with our longstanding ‘one-China’ policy.”
