The United States of America (USA) and China have pledged to stabilise their tense relations following US Secretary of State Mr. Antony Blinken’s two-day visit to Beijing.
Mr. Blinken met China’s President Xi Jinping for talks on restarting high-level communications between the rival nations.
Mr. Xi said they had made progress, while Mr. Blinken indicated that both sides were open to further talks.
But the top US diplomat made it clear that there remained major differences.
Relations between Beijing and Washington have plummeted in the wake of a Trump-era trade war, Beijing’s assertive claims over Taiwan and the shooting down of an alleged Chinese spy balloon over the US earlier this year.
