Al Jazeera
China’s Wang Yi called on Biden to restore a bilateral relationship damaged under Trump by removing ‘unreasonable tariffs’.
Senior Chinese diplomat Wang Yi has called on the administration of United States President Joe Biden to work with Beijing to reopen dialogue between the two countries and to remove tariffs and sanctions, steps that would go towards restoring a bilateral relationship damaged under the presidency of Donald Trump. Wang, a Chinese state councillor and foreign minister, said the Trump administration’s actions to suppress and contain China inflicted immeasurable harm, and called on Washington to remove “unreasonable tariffs” on Chinese goods and abandon what he said was an “irrational suppression” of the Chinese tech sector. He also cited US curbs on Chinese media and students as another issue of concern. The Trump administration classified 15 Chinese media outlets as foreign missions as it tried to push back against what it described as communist propaganda.More Related News
