China’s top diplomat Yang Jeichi on Monday started a two-day visit to the US with which Beijing’s relations have come under strain after the election of President Donald Trump.
Chinese State Councilor Yang Jiechi was invited by the US Government, Foreign Ministry spokesperson lu Kang was quoted as saying by Xinhua news agency.
Yang’s visit comes at time when ties between China and the US have been hit by several issues like the South China Sea and Taiwan.
