China rejects U.S. envoy's comment that it hinders people-to-people exchanges

Hindustan Times  

BEIJING - China's foreign ministry described as "far-fetched" on Wednesday remarks by U.S. China rejects U.S. envoy's comment that it hinders people-to-people exchanges A Wall Street Journal report widely circulated by global media had said Burns accused Beijing of making people-to-people exchanges between the two countries "impossible". Referring to a meeting in San Francisco last November at which Chinese President Xi Jinping and U.S. President Joe Biden discussed issues that had strained ties, Mao added: "Ambassador Burns's remarks are not true and deviate from the important consensus reached by the two heads of state." In excerpts of an interview published in the Wall Street Journal, Burns said mainland officials interfered in 61 public events organised by the U.S. embassy in Beijing since November. "China has always developed its relations with the United States in accordance with the principles of mutual respect, peaceful coexistence and win-win cooperation put forward by President Xi Jinping," Mao said.
