WASHINGTON, Oct. 27 - Wang Yi, a member of the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China Central Committee and China's foreign minister, met Friday with U.S. National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan.
The two sides had substantive and constructive strategic communications on China-U.S. relations, high-level bilateral exchanges, and international and regional issues of mutual concern, including the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
They agreed to make a concerted effort to meet the two heads of state in San Francisco.
"Taiwan independence" poses the greatest threat to peace and stability in the Taiwan Strait and poses the greatest challenge to China-U.S. relations, Wang said, adding that "Taiwan independence" must be resolutely confronted and opposition must be translated into concrete action.
Wang also explained China's solemn stance on the South China Sea issue.
Both sides agreed to maintain strategic communication.
