Burns highlighted the contradiction in China's stance on sovereignty and expressed concerns over deteriorating US-China relations and cultural exchanges.

Amid growing tensions, US Ambassador to Beijing Nicholas Burns labeled China's technological support for Russia's military efforts in Ukraine as a 'major mistake' during a speech in Shanghai on Wednesday.
