US accused of demonising China in high-level talks
China has told the US to stop “demonising” Beijing, in their most high-level talks under President Biden.
China’s Vice Foreign Minister Xie Feng said relations had reached a “stalemate” because the US saw China as an “imagined enemy”.
He is in talks with Deputy Secretary of State Wendy Sherman, the most senior US official to visit China in months.
Mr Biden has taken a hard-line approach towards China, especially on issues like human rights and sanctions.
