On June 11, 2021, Yang Jiechi, member of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee and Director of the Office of the Central Foreign Affairs Commission, had a telephone conversation with US Secretary of State Brinken at an appointment.

　　Yang Jiechi said that dialogue and cooperation should be the mainstream of Sino-US relations.

Cooperation should be mutually beneficial in both directions and resolve each other's concerns in a balanced manner.

China is committed to achieving non-conflict, non-confrontation, mutual respect, and win-win cooperation with the US, while firmly safeguarding its own sovereignty, security, and development interests.

We urge the US to work with China in accordance with the spirit of the call between the two heads of state on New Year's Eve to push Sino-US relations back on track.

The Taiwan issue concerns China’s sovereignty and territorial integrity, as well as China’s core interests.

There is only one China in the world, and Taiwan is an inalienable part of China.

China unswervingly defends national sovereignty and territorial integrity.

We urge the US to abide by the one-China principle, keep its promises, prudently and properly handle Taiwan-related issues, and take concrete actions to maintain the overall situation of China-US relations and peace and stability across the Taiwan Strait.

　　Yang Jiechi emphasized that there is only one system and one order in the world, that is, the international system with the United Nations as the core and the international order based on international law, rather than the so-called system and order advocated by a few countries; there is only one set of rules, that is, The basic norms of international relations based on the purposes and principles of the UN Charter, not the so-called rules formulated by a few countries; there is only one type of multilateralism, which is based on the purposes and principles of the UN Charter and international law, treats each other as equals, win-win cooperation, and genuine Multilateralism, not pseudo-multilateralism based on the interests of "small circles" and "group politics," and it is not even possible to practice unilateralism in the name of multilateralism.

Peaceful development, fairness and justice, democracy and freedom are the common values ​​of all mankind.

Respect for sovereignty is a prerequisite for the realization of human rights, and the "United Nations Charter" and the "Universal Declaration of Human Rights" affirm this principle.

The US should resolve its own domestic serious human rights violations, and not use the so-called human rights issues as an excuse to arbitrarily interfere in the internal affairs of other countries.

　　Yang Jiechi pointed out that China actively participates in and supports international anti-epidemic cooperation, and resolutely opposes any abominable actions that use the epidemic to slander and slander China.

Some people in the United States fabricated and spread the absurd story of "the Wuhan laboratory leaked the new crown virus," and China expressed serious concern about this.

We urge the US to respect facts and science, refrain from politicizing the issue of traceability, and focus on international cooperation in the fight against the epidemic.

　　Yang Jiechi said that China will soon celebrate the centennial of the Communist Party of China.

The Chinese people have made great achievements under the strong leadership of the Communist Party of China. They will unite more closely, work harder, and unswervingly follow the path of socialism with Chinese characteristics, build the country more prosperous, and realize the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation. .

　　Brinken said that the recent series of contacts between the United States and China are beneficial to bilateral relations, and the United States looks forward to increasing contacts and exchanges with China at all levels.

The United States pursues the one-China policy and abides by the three Sino-US joint communiqués.

The US hopes to maintain communication and coordination with China on important international and regional issues.

　　The two sides also exchanged views on other issues of common concern.
