US, China trade exchange sharp rebukes at high-level Alaska talks
Anchorage: The United States (US) and Chinese officials have traded barbs in the first high-level talks between the Biden administration and Beijing, taking place in Alaska.
According to details, Beijing accused US of urging countries to attack China, while the US officials blamed China for not focusing on important issues.
The relations of two super powers have remained strained for years due to several political and economic issues.
The US officials, including Secretary of State Antony Blinken and National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan, confronted China for cyber attacks on US and economic coercion of our allies.
"Each of these actions threatens the rules-based order that maintains global stability," US officials said.
In response Chinese officials, including Foreign Policy Official Yang Jiechi and Foreign Minister Wang Yi, accused Washington of using its military might and financial supremacy to suppress other countries.
Mr. Yang said that human rights issues have reached lowest point in US with black Americans being slaughtered.
Both countries are looking for a reset in relations after they hit rock bottom under the Trump administration.
