Amid a steep downturn in relations with the United States, China has looked to a meeting with former U.S. national security adviser and Secretary of State Henry Kissinger to revive positive momentum.
The 100-year-old Kissinger met Wednesday with the ruling Communist Party's diplomat Wang Yi, who said it was "impossible" to transform, encircle or contain China, reiterating top Chinese leaders' statements on what they say the U.S. is trying to do based on differences over trade, technology, Taiwan and China's human rights record.
China's Defence Ministry quoted Li as praising the role Kissinger played in opening up China-U.S. relations in the early 1970s, but said bilateral ties had hit a low point because of "some people on the American side who are not willing to meet China halfway." China broke off some mid- and high-level contacts with the Biden administration last August, including over climate issues, to show its anger with then-House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's trip to Taiwan. China claims the island as its own territory to be brought under its control by force if necessary, threatening to draw the U.S. into a major conflict in a region crucial to the global economy.
