During a meeting in China with Chinese officials on Monday, she told her counterpart the U.S. is concerned about recent actions taken by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). Among the concerning actions are the continued detention of U.S. and Canadian journalists.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs I told my colleagues Foreign Minister Wang and Vice Foreign Minister Xie Fang, people are not bargaining chips,\u201d Sherman stated. \u201cI also raised in both meetings our strong concerns about the increasingly hostile atmosphere for foreign journalists in China.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Even more pressing, she implied, is the CCP\u2019s actions in the Taiwan Strait and Hong Kong. She said she had strong words over these issues with her counterparts during the meeting.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd yes, I had frank and direct conversations in many areas with my interlocutors,\u201d stated the deputy secretary of state. \u201cIncluding the crimes against humanity in Xinjiang, the anti-democratic crackdown in Hong Kong, provocative military actions in the Taiwan Strait.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The CCP, however, has their own version of events. The Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs spokesperson, Zhao Lijian, accused the U.S. of misrepresenting China. He said the U.S. needs to \u201creturn to a pragmatic policy\u201d towards the CCP.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Open communication \u2013 even when we disagree \u2013 is critical to diplomacy.
