NEW YORK -- American and Chinese foreign policy chiefs met Wednesday in the U.S. state of Hawaii for the first face-to-face, high-level contact between the two countries since coronavirus lockdowns began and tensions near a boiling point.
U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and his counterpart Yang Jiechi, director of China's Office of Foreign Affairs and a member of the Chinese Politburo, met in Honolulu, a city roughly equidistant between Washington and Beijing.
