BEIJING - The US ambassador and a State Department official held candid and productive talks on Monday with Chinese officials and made clear that Washington would stand up for its interests, the State Department said.
“The two sides had candid and productive discussions as part of ongoing efforts to maintain open lines of communication and build on recent high-level diplomacy between the two countries,” the statement said. Citing Chinese experts, the Global Times wrote late on Sunday that the United States has been trying to create a responsible image by delivering a “goodwill message” that it has been seeking communication with China, and shifting the blame to Beijing for the lack of communication or refusal to communicate.
At a security summit in Singapore over the weekend, Austin said Beijing’s reluctance to talk undermined efforts to maintain peace in the region.
