[Asia Economy Reporter Donghoon Jeong] China has announced that it will put all agenda items that can be discussed with the United States on the table ahead of the high-level US-China talks.

Zhao Lijian, spokesperson for the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs, said at a regular briefing on the 18th, "China will express our position and concerns on related issues." The US and China will hold high-level talks in Anchorage, Alaska, over two days from the 18th to the 19th.

The US recently imposed financial sanctions on 24 Chinese and Hong Kong officials, citing the crackdown on Hong Kong's democratization. Additionally, the US pressured China by holding consecutive US-Japan and US-South Korea foreign and defense minister meetings in Japan and South Korea.

Regarding this, spokesperson Zhao said, "China has no room for negotiation or concession on issues of sovereignty, security, and development interests," adding, "Our determination and will to safeguard core interests are unwavering."
