China wants US to make first move to thaw ties, gets snubbed

China’s foreign minister, Wang Yi, called upon the US to reopen talks and junk former President Donald Trump’s policies. Wang said the US must cease meddling in China’s internal affairs, drop ’irrational suppression’ of China’s tech firms and lift its ’unreasonable’ sanctions. However, the US State Department said Wang’s comment showed China’s tendency to avert blame for its ’predatory’ practices.
