Sputnik quoted Wang as saying at the meeting with the US-China Business Council Board of Directors, “China and the United States must initiate a dialogue at all levels, any issue can be discussed at the negotiating table. Thus, it is possible to keep in touch on strategic and long-term issues ”.
“The Chinese side is always ready to negotiate, the parties can draw up a list [of topics] to promote dialogue, cooperation and resolve differences, “he added.

Glavin writes that Biden has gone to great lengths to declare the mass incarceration of Uighurs in Beijing and the destruction of Uyghur culture to be genocide.
Meanwhile, two years ago, Trump had said: “President Xi and I will always be friends … He is for China, I am from the United States, but other than that, we love each other.” He had also tried his best to drop Xi in Xinjiang.
