This is a high-level meeting of officials from China and the US (including Secretary of State Blinken)
Its the first official talks between the US and China under the new US administration
I posted yesterday on the positioning ahead of the meeting:
- China state TV says the country will not compromise with the US over sovereignty
- China - US summit meeting coming up today, Thursday 18 March 2021
- US Sec State Blinken says China aggression poses challenge
Blink says he'll be raising issues on:
- Xinjiang
- HK and Taiwan
- cyber attacks

Stay tuned for headlines that'll come later in the session or perhaps into the EU/UK timezone
