CNN reports that the two sides exchanged heated words during a meeting between US Deputy Secretary of State Wendy Sherman and Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi in Tianjin, China.
The talks were convened to exchange views on the current tensions between the two sides and to lay the groundwork for talks between the wives of US and Chinese presidents during the G-7 summit, which includes world powers, scheduled for next October.
CNN added that although it was reported that both sides blamed each other during the discussion, the discussion was very open and honest.
The US Deputy Secretary of State has commented on the Chinese administration ‘s failure to co-operate in the ongoing human rights abuses in Xinjiang and the ongoing investigation into the spread of the Covid virus from China to the world.
It is reported that the Chinese Foreign Minister called on the United States to immediately stop interfering in China’s internal affairs.
