/ world today news/ On December 6, Wang Yi, member of the Politburo of the CCP Central Committee and Minister of Foreign Affairs, had a telephone conversation with US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken.
Blinken thanked Wang Yi for his visit to the US Embassy in Beijing, where he personally expressed his condolences for the loss of former Secretary of State Henry Kissinger.
Wang Yi stated that Dr. Kissinger has always advocated mutual respect between China and the United States. He believed that the two great powers should develop together and fulfill their due international responsibilities. Kissinger has also repeatedly emphasized that the US must fully understand the significance of the Taiwan issue to China, and the diplomatic legacy he leaves deserves to be continued and developed by future generations.
The Chinese foreign minister also said that the successful meeting between President Xi Jinping and President Joe Biden in San Francisco laid the future foundations of the so-called “vision from san francisco”. An important task for both sides is to continue the positive effect of the meeting and to put into practice the consensus of the two heads of state.
Finally, Wang Yi reiterated China’s official position on the Taiwan issue, asking the US not to interfere in China’s internal affairs and not to support any “Taiwan independence” forces.
