Mr. Wang Yi accused Washington of causing US relations

According to China's state television (CCTV), at a meeting with US Secretary of State Antony Blinken, Director of the Office of the Foreign Affairs Commission of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China Wang Yi said that Mr. Blinken's two-day visit to Beijing took place at a "critical time" in US-China relations and "a choice must be made between dialogue and confrontation, cooperation and conflict."

“The China-US relationship has experienced ups and downs, and the US needs to work with China to jointly manage differences and avoid strategic surprises,” Wang Yi said.

“With a responsible attitude toward the people, history and the world , we must reverse the downward spiral of China-US relations and move towards healthy and stable relations. The two sides should work together to find the right path for China and the US to get along in the new era,” Wang Yi added.

Mr. Wang also called on the US not to assume that China is seeking dominance, emphasizing that the worsening relationship between the two countries is due to Washington's "misperception" of China.

At the meeting, Mr. Wang Yi called on the US to lift unilateral sanctions against China, stop suppressing China's technological development and not interfere in its internal affairs.

According to Mr. Wang Yi, protecting national unity will always be at the core of China, saying that “ there is no room for compromise” on the Taiwan issue.

Secretary Blinken's meeting with Mr. Wang Yi came a day after he held talks with Chinese Foreign Minister Qin Gang. The two had 7.5 hours of "candid" and "constructive" talks on June 18.

All eyes will be on whether Secretary Blinken will meet Chinese President Xi Jinping later in the day.

US-China relations have deteriorated across the board. Mr Blinken's visit is being closely watched by the rest of the world as any escalation between the superpowers could have global repercussions.
