JAKARTA - US Secretary of State Antony Blinken expressed his concern about China's support for the Russian military, one of many problems that threatened to worsen the improvement of relations between the two countries and the world's largest economy, when he met Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi on Friday.
Foreign Minister Blinken raised the issue in talks over the past five and a half hours with top Chinese diplomats in Beijing, the latest high-level contact between the two countries that has reduced tensions that have pushed relations to a low in history last year.
"The minister discussed concerns about RRT support for Russia's defense industry base," US State Department spokesman Matthew Miller said, adding the two sides were also discussing Taiwan, the South China Sea and other points of conflict.
Meanwhile, Foreign Minister Wang told Foreign Minister Blinken, the "giant ship" of China-US relations has stabilized, "but the negative factors in the relationship are still increasing and developing."
Foreign Minister Wang further said Washington had taken "independent" steps to suppress China's economy, trade, science and technology, equating these measures to restraint.

"And this relationship faces various kinds of disturbances. The legitimate rights of Chinese development have been severely suppressed and our core interests face challenges," he said.
On that occasion, Foreign Minister Wang also reminded that the US should not step on a "red line" that includes sovereignty, security and development interests, a clear reference to Taiwan.
In addition, Foreign Minister Wang also said the US should stop "exaggerating" "false narratives" about China's overcapacity.
