'Negative' factors building in US-China ties, foreign minister Wang tells Blinken

US Secretary of State Antony Blinken attends a meeting with China's Foreign Minister Wang Yi at the Diaoyutai State Guesthouse, April 26, 2024, in Beijing, China.BEIJING — The United States is suppressing China's development, Foreign Minister Wang Yi said on Friday during talks with his US counterpart Antony Blinken who is on a visit to Beijing aimed at resolving trade and policy differences between the superpowers.

"And the relationship is facing all kinds of disruptions. China's legitimate development rights have been unreasonably suppressed and our core interests are facing challenges," he said. Blinken and Yang met in a guesthouse which is part of a sprawling complex of villas, lakes and gardens where many foreign dignitaries, including the then-US President Richard Nixon, have been received.

Despite increasing high-level exchanges and working groups tackling issues such as enhanced military communication and global trade, stark differences remain. Todd Robinson, Assistant Secretary of State for International Narcotics and Law Enforcement Affairs, and Nathaniel Fick, ambassador-at-large for cyberspace, are among the officials and envoys accompanying Blinken.
