Blinken thanked Wang Yi for visiting the U.S. Embassy in China to mourn the passing of former U.S. Secretary of State Henry Kissinger. Wang Yi said that Dr. Kissinger has always advocated that China and the United States should respect each other, evolve together, and fulfill their international responsibilities, and repeatedly stressed that the United States should fully understand the importance of the Taiwan issue to China, and that his diplomatic legacy is worthy of being carried forward and developed by future generations.
Wang Yi said that the successful meeting between the President and Biden in San Francisco and the determination of the future-oriented "San Francisco Vision" are of milestone significance. At present, the important task of the two sides is to continue the positive effect of the San Francisco Summit, implement the consensus reached by the two heads of state, consolidate the momentum of China-US relations stabilization, and promote the improvement and development of China-US relations in a healthy, stable and sustainable direction.

The United States should not say one thing and do another.
U.S. Secretary of Commerce Gina Raimondo said a few days ago that China is the biggest threat facing the United States and is not a friend of the United States. She also called on U.S. business leaders to prioritize *** considerations over short-term profits.
In the face of inquiries, Wang Wenbin responded on the 4th: Biden ** has said that he has no intention of obstructing China's economic development and preventing China's scientific and technological progress. However, the relevant statements of the US side are self-contradictory, difficult to win the trust of China and the international community, and also expose the deep-rooted Cold War mentality and hegemonic mentality of some people in the United States. China has never gambled on the United States to lose, nor does it intend to challenge or replace the United States. The US should establish a correct understanding of China, work with China to earnestly implement the important consensus reached at the China-US summit in San Francisco, stop treating China as an "imaginary enemy", and correct its erroneous behavior of engaging in major power confrontation under the guise of competition.
Wang Wenbin said that I have seen some relevant comments on China's ** and would like to forward them to the US side for serious consideration. Anything that violates the rules, principles, and laws of a free market is like building a dam with a sieve, and no matter how hard it tries, the water will still flow through the cracks to where it should go.
