BALI, Indonesia, July 9, 2022 (AFP): The United States and China held "constructive" talks Saturday, Washington's top diplomat said, after an unusually long meeting aimed at preventing bilateral tensions from spiralling out of control.

Secretary of State Antony Blinken and Foreign Minister Wang Yi held their first talks since October on the Indonesian island of Bali as the two powers stepped up interaction at a time when the West is focused on Russia's invasion of Ukraine.
