China Vice Foreign Minister & US State Department Official Met On Monday

US-CHINA

(MNI Australia) China media has reported that China and US officials had a frank, constructive and fruitful discussion on promoting relations between the two countries and properly managing differences (according to the Beijing Daily).

  • China's Vice Foreign Minister Ma Zhaoxu met with US Assistant Secretary State for East Asian Daniel Kritenbrink and National Security Council official Sarah Beran on Monday.
  • China reiterated its position on Taiwan and other issues, while both sides reportedly agreed to maintain communication. We wait to see the US side's take on the meeting.
  • Still, this meeting will be seen as a positive, particularly given the weekend Shangri-La Dialogue gathering in Singapore failed to bring about a meeting between senior Defense officials between both countries.
