China's top diplomat and Foreign Minister Wang Yi met with US President Joe Biden in the White House on Friday local time. The purpose of this visit was to communicate with the US and effectively implement the important consensus reached at the meeting between the two heads of state in Bali last year, and look forward to San Francisco, in order to promote the stabilization and recovery of China-US relations for it to quickly return to a healthy and stable development track, Wang told Biden.

Analysts said Wang's visit marks an extension of the warming atmosphere in China-US high-level interactions since May this year and was set to create the necessary conditions and pave way for higher level exchanges between the two countries. The onus of putting bilateral relations on track lies entirely on the US, as the US is urged to abandon its selfish and condescending gestures in ties with China like cracking down on China in some areas to maintain the US' hegemony. 

During his meeting with Biden, Wang, also director of the Office of the Foreign Affairs Commission of the Communist Party of China (CPC) Central Committee, stated that the one-China principle and the three joint communiqués between China and the US are the most important political foundation for bilateral relations, and must be upheld without interference.
