Four months after the Anchorage meeting between high-level officials of China and the United States, with much fanfare, US Deputy Secretary of State Wendy Sherman came to China for follow-up meetings with Chinese State Councillor and Foreign Minister Wang Yi and Vice Foreign Minister Xie Feng. Like Anchorage, to observe Covid-19 response protocols, the talks this time were not held in the capital city either. But the suburbs of Tianjin is as close as any foreigner can get to meet Chinese officials these days.
