US and China clash in first major talks of Biden era.
The first high-level talks between the Biden administration and China have got off to an ill tempered start, with US and Chinese officials exchanging sharp rebukes. The US Secretary of State Antony Blinken criticised China over cyber-attacks, economic coercion and human rights. China's most senior foreign policy official accused Washington of using its military might and financial supremacy to suppress other countries.
We spoke to Nahal Toosie, Politico's Foreign Affairs Correspondent about the talks and what they mean for both parties involved.
