CHINA ASKS US TO RECTIFY 'MISTAKES ' OF DONALD TRUMP ADMINISTRATION 'S AGGRESSIVE POLICIES

  • 06/02/2021

In its first contact with the Biden administration, China asked the US to rectify the “mistakes” of former President Donald Trump’s aggressive policies towards Beijing and flagged Taiwan as the most important and sensitive core issue for it.Newly-appointed US Secretary of State Antony Blinken and senior Chinese diplomat Yang Jiechi  held  blunt and outspoken conversation over the phone during which both sides sought to highlight the issues of concerns that will shape the ties between the top two economies of the world in the next four years.


While Blinken told Yang that the Biden administration will hold China accountable for its abuses of the international system and raised with him the issue of human rights violations in Xinjiang, Tibet and Hong Kong and Myanmar, the Chinese diplomat said both sides should respect each other’s core interests and choices of political system.Yang said the US “should rectify its mistakes made over a period of time,” in an apparent reference to hardline policies pursued by the Trump administration towards China, pushing the ties between the two countries to a new low.
