SHANGHAI -- China's top diplomat has called on the new U.S. administration of President Joe Biden to change policies set by his predecessor that plunged bilateral relations into their most difficult period since the normalization of diplomatic ties.
Yang Jiechi, head of the Chinese Communist Party's Central Foreign Affairs Commission, told a U.S.-organized forum on Tuesday that Washington should also stop what Beijing sees as interference in the internal affairs in Hong Kong and Xinjiang in order to restore bilateral ties.
