China's Vice-FM Ma: Meet halfway on ties
China DailyChina expects the United States to act on the commitments made by President Joe Biden and meet each other halfway to further stabilize and develop the bilateral relations, a visiting Chinese diplomat said on Thursday. The top Chinese diplomat made the remarks after talks with Deputy Secretary of State Kurt Campbell and Principal Deputy National Security Advisor Jon Finer in separate meetings on the first day of his four-day trip to the US. Biden reaffirmed the five commitments he made in Bali, Indonesia a year before, i.e., the United States does not seek a new Cold War, does not seek to change China's system, does not seek to revitalize its alliances against China, does not support "Taiwan independence", and has no intention to have a conflict with China, according to a Chinese readout of the summit. Ma also met with US Principal Deputy National Security Advisor Jon Finer, and the two sides had a candid and constructive conversation, building on the summit between the presidents in Woodside, California last November, said a readout from the White House.
