US Ambassador to Beijing Nicholas Burns said US authorities are ready to discuss contentious issues with China. According to him, Washington does not want to return to the Cold War with China.
“We need better channels [связи] deeper channels between the two governments. We are ready to talk. And this is especially important when: [обеих стран] There are big problems, there are big differences in relations, we don’t want to go back to the cold war with China. And we need more stability in these relationships,” Burns said. TASS.
As the US ambassador pointed out, the American side has “never been shy” about the negotiation process and is waiting for China to negotiate. He also avoided answering the question of when US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken’s postponed visit to China would take place.
“Blinken was supposed to visit China on February 5 and 6. He had to postpone his trip on February 3 due to an incident with the balloon. And he – and I told this to the Chinese side – said he would come here when conditions are right for his visit. We return to the main topic of contacts between the two governments. “We believe we need more reliable and consistent channels of communication,” Burns said.
