This State Council press release on Blinken's phone call to Wang Yi conveys that quite a bit transpired on US-China relations as well! Wang's message: 'Change hostile policy & Improve relations first before seeking cooperation on DPRK, Ukraine, etc'!

Would you believe, Blinken sheepishly congratulated Beijing for successful Olympics & congratulated Chinese athletes! Wang hit back that Biden'a recent 'Indo-Pacific Strategy' & inclusion of Taiwan in it aims to contain China!
Wang: "This is obviously sending a wrong signal of containment of China."

1/5 US state dept spokesman Ned Price reg Iran (5/7/2021): “If President Raisi is genuine in his determination to see the sanctions lifted, well, that is precisely what’s on the table in Vienna… we’re attempting to see if we can resume mutual compliance…
