But negative factors in the relationship are still increasing, Wang said. He called on the two countries to resolve their disagreements.
Blinken replied that active diplomacy is needed to move forward with the agenda set by President Biden and President Xi.
He said direct diplomacy is irreplaceable to ensure that the two sides understand each other's view on difficult issues, to avoid misunderstandings and miscalculations.
This is Blinken's second visit to China within a year.
