Wendy Sherman Arrives in Tianjin To Meet With Chinese Counterparts

Deputy Secretary of State Wendy Sherman arrived in Tianjin today, where she will meet July 26 with Vice Foreign Minister Xie Feng, who is now in charge of U.S.-China relations, and then will have a meeting with Foreign Minister Wang Yi. Speaking yesterday, Wang Yi sent a warning to the U.S. that the meeting should not be a repeat of Anchorage on March 18, saying “if the United States has not learned to treat other countries equally, China, [and] the international community have the obligation to help the United States make up for this lesson…. There has never been a country superior to others in the world, and China will not accept such a claim by any country,” he said.
