According to the reports in the national press, the China Gang spoke on the phone with Blinken, who is expected to make his Beijing visit this week, which he canceled due to the crisis caused by the high altitude balloon between the two countries, at the request of his interlocutor.
China Gang reiterated its stance on the main issues in China-US relations during the meeting, stressing that the United States “must stop interfering in China’s internal affairs, stop harming its sovereign security and development interests in the name of competition.”
US Secretary of State Antony Blinken canceled his planned visit to China in February due to the crisis after the Chinese high-altitude balloon entered American airspace.
Blinken and the China Gang met directly for the first time after their diplomatic contact was cut off due to the crisis.
