Senior diplomats from the United States and European Union met on Wednesday to discuss their litany of grievances about Beijing, from human rights in Xinjiang and the erosion of autonomy in Hong Kong to economic “coercion” and China’s actions in the South China Sea.
Held in Brussels, the meeting between US Deputy Secretary of State Wendy Sherman and Stefano Sannino, the head of the European External Action Service, marked the resumption of a high-level US-EU strategic dialogue on China that was announced in October during the Trump administration.
