[1/2] British Foreign Secretary James Cleverly and Chinese Vice President Han Zheng attend a meeting at the Great Hall of the People in Beijing, China August 30, 2023.
"We are clear-eyed about the areas where we have fundamental disagreements with China and we raise those issues when we meet," he told broadcasters.
China Vice President Han Zheng told Cleverly at their meeting that he hoped the two countries could make new advances in their relations.
Cleverly's visit to China comes as other countries in the West also try to improve their relations with the country.
U.S. Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo is on a four-day visit in China but warned that U.S. companies have complained to her that China has become "uninvestible".
