Chinese Foreign Minister Qin Gang told Secretary of State Antony Blinken the US should stop hurting China’s security interests in the name of competition in a call before the American official’s expected trip to Beijing.
Qin also urged the US to effectively manage differences to stabilize relations between the world’s two largest economies, according to a statement released Wednesday by the Foreign Ministry in Beijing. The US should implement the consensus of the Bali meeting between President Joe Biden and Chinese leader Xi Jinping in November, he added.
