U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken said Monday he failed to revive military-to-military communication with China, despite hopes of reopening it.
He also told reporters Monday that during the meetings, he "repeatedly" raised the need for direct communication between the two countries' militaries.
"At this moment, China does not agree to move forward with that," he said, noting the U.S. would keep working toward restoring those communication channels. Beijing considers Taiwan part of its territory, with no right to independently conduct diplomatic relations. The U.S. recognizes Beijing as the sole government of China but maintains unofficial relations with Taiwan, a democratically self-governed island.An issue for the Chinese is that the U.S. has sanctioned Li Shangfu, China's minister of national defense.
