Washington not sending ‘high-level participants’ to tourism ministerial summit after alleged ‘arbitrary and targeted’ behaviour towards US
When China chose to host the tourism-focused Apec meeting in Macau, Washington again asked Beijing to address its concerns and proposed “a positive way forward,” but China “rejected” the proposal and “chose to maintain its discriminatory practice”, it said.
The statement did not say whether any lower-level US representatives would attend the meeting in Macau. The Chinese embassy in Washington did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
The US has no consular post in Macau. Its consular services there are handled by the consulate general in Hong Kong.
