US-China chip war: China foreign minister visits Washington for talks - BBC News

Chinese foreign minister Wang Yi is in Washington to meet US secretary of state Antony Blinken, in the hopes of solving a range of disagreements - including on trade.

Last week, Beijing hit back at the Biden administration's decision to impose new restrictions on advance chip exports.

The US said the measures were designed to prevent China from receiving cutting-edge technologies that it could use to strengthen its military, especially in the field of artificial intelligence (AI).

Wang Yi will also meet President Biden's national security advisor Jake Sullivan to discuss the conflict in the Middle East.
