Politico: Beijing rejects Washington's attempts to resume high-level contacts

This is written by the newspaper Politico, citing unnamed Us officials.

Beijing effectively froze high-level bilateral diplomatic contacts with the United States after the February incident when the U.S. shot down a Chinese balloon.

Sources of the publication said that the Chinese side does not confirm the appointment of a new date for the visit of US Secretary of State Antony Blinken.

In addition, Beijing does not coordinate the travel of other U.S. officials.

The newspaper also writes that the further position of China may be affected by the meeting of the Speaker of the US House of Representatives Kevin McCarthy with the head of the Taiwanese administration, Tsai Ing-wen, scheduled for April 5.
