In recent weeks, relations between China and the United States have become increasingly tense. U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo recently unveiled a U.S. plan, dubbed as the “Clean Network,” to crack down on Chinese apps and services. This was followed by Trump signing an executive order barring any transactions with TikTok and WeChat. Meanwhile, Health and Human Services Secretary Alex Azar went to Taiwan for the highest-ranking visit by a U.S. official in decades, and it is believed to be the test of China’s bottom line. Despite the frictions, there was communication between the two sides. Chinese Minister of National Defense on Thursday took a phone call from his U.S. counterpart. The two sides exchanged views on bilateral ties and military relations. Can these talks halt accelerating tensions?
