China described its meeting with US envoys that included talks on Taiwan as “in-depth and constructive,” a sign Beijing and Washington are taking steps to cool tensions.
Vice Foreign Minister Xie Feng met Assistant Secretary of State for East Asian and Pacific Affairs Daniel Kritenbrink and National Security Council Senior Director for China and Taiwan Laura Rosenberger, Foreign Ministry spokesman Wang Wenbin said at a regular press briefing in Beijing.
The envoys followed up on a meeting between the leaders of the two nations last month in Indonesia, Wang said, adding that they discussed “properly handling issues in bilateral relations including the Taiwan question, and strengthening exchanges and cooperation at various levels.”
The meeting in Bali between President Xi Jinping and President Joe Biden, led to a resumption of cooperation on issues including climate change and food security, putting a floor under worsening ties after tensions spiked due to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s visit to Taiwan.
