White House suspends high level talks with China amid protests
The United States halts all high level government-to-government exchanges with the People's Republic of China and aims to delay China loan considerations at international financial institutions. The move, announced as a measured response to the crackdown on democracy protesters, stops talks between Cabinet members and senior Chinese officials and delays planned visits by US officials to Beijing. The administration seeks to pressure Beijing without severing overall relations.
