China and the US have been having increasingly frequent talks between senior officials recently and are expected to have more exchanges in various fields, such as diplomacy, finance, trade, climate change and maybe military in the future, but Chinese experts said that if US President Joe Biden wants to stabilize ties with China and hold another China-US summit later this year before the US presidential election, Washington needs to show more concrete sincerity through actions, otherwise the frequent meetings would not be productive.

On Thursday, Wang Yi, Director of the Office of the Central Commission for Foreign Affairs  of the Communist Party of China Central Committee met US Secretary of State Antony Blinken again in Jakarta, Indonesia on the sidelines of a series of ASEAN foreign ministers' meetings. About a month earlier on June 19, they met in Beijing, where Wang warned Blinken that China-US relations are at a low point, and "the root cause is US misperceptions toward China, which has led to misguided China policies."

Also on Thursday, Shu Jueting, a spokesperson of the Chinese Ministry of Commerce, said that China is open to and welcomes US Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo to visit the country, adding that "communication with the US in this regard is underway."
