BEIJING (Reuters) – The actions of the administration of former U.S. President Donald Trump to suppress and contain China were the root cause of the difficulties in their bilateral relations, senior Chinese diplomat Wang Yi said on Monday.
Wang, speaking at a forum in Beijing, urged U.S. policymakers to stop smearing China’s ruling Communist Party and stop conniving with separatist forces.
