Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi speaks during a press conference for the Third Belt and Road Forum at the China National Convention Center in Beijing, Wednesday, Oct. 18, 2023. Washington — China’s top diplomat will come to Washington Thursday for a three-day visit, the latest move by Washington and Beijing to keep high-level talks open amid tense bilateral relations.
The relationship had barely warmed up when Washington accused Beijing of flying a spy balloon over the U.S. territory in February, drawing stern protests from Beijing and plunging bilateral relations to another low.When Wang arrives in Washington, American officials will push China to be more constructive in the Middle East, the senior administration officials said.
China, however, claimed the shoal to be part of its territory and accused the Philippines of “severely violating China’s territorial sovereignty” by marooning a navy ship there. It vowed to take “necessary measures” to defend China’s sovereignty and maritime interests.
