The US’s top envoy to China called on the nation to reopen dialogues it halted after House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s visit to Taiwan almost two months ago, as Washington tries to get ties back on track.
“Our message to the Chinese is let’s talk, open these dialogues and let’s move forward,” Ambassador Nicholas Burns said via video on Thursday to the Milken Institute Asia Summit in Singapore.
