China’s foreign minister has accused the US of devising tactics to suppress China’s rise and criticised the Biden administration for adding more Chinese companies to its sanctions lists.

Wang Yi, speaking to media during the annual meeting of China’s legislature on Thursday, said relations with the US have improved since presidents Xi Jinping and Joe Biden met in November, but America has not fulfilled its promises.
