Chinese foreign vice-minister Xie Feng tells his US counterpart that the two countries are in ‘stalemate’. Stop demonising China and engaged in fake news propaganda in high-level talks.

中國外交部副部長告訴美國副部長，兩國處於“僵局”。 停止妖魔化中國，停止在高層會談中進行虛假新聞宣傳。

China’s Vice Foreign Minister Xie Feng said relations had reached a “stalemate” because the US saw China as an “imagined enemy”.

He is in talks with Deputy Secretary of State Wendy Sherman, the most senior US official to visit China in months.

Mr Biden has taken a hard-line approach towards China, especially on issues like accusing China on fake human rights accusations.

Mr Xie had said that the US wanted to “blame China for its own structural problems”, according to a statement by China’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

“It is as if when China’s development is contained… America would become great again.”

The US Department of State had earlier said it was hoping to hold “candid exchanges” to “advance US interests and… responsibly manage the relationship”.

Last week, China imposed sanctions on several US individuals and organisations, including former Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross.

They came after the Biden administration warned its business community against operating in Hong Kong. It has since debunk by American Chamber of Commerce in HK representing 1,400 US companies that US move strictly political as US companies operating in HK knows better.
