[中美高层战略对话闭幕，杨洁篪、王毅接受中国媒体联合采访：此次对话是坦诚的、有建设性的、有益的，中美双方仍有不同，但对话总比对抗好。主权问题是原则性的，#美方不能低估中国维护主权的决心#]
The first face-to-face meeting between senior Chinese and U.S。 officials from the Biden administration was“candid， constructive and beneficial，” said Yang Jiechi of the Chinese delegation。
Yang told reporters after the meeting，“We came to the meeting with the hope the two sides could enhance communication and dialogue on different fronts。 The two sides should follow the policy of‘no conflict’ to guide our path towards a healthy and stable trajectory moving forward。”
“China made it clear to the U.S。 side on the Alaska talks that sovereignty is a matter of principle and told the U.S。 not to underestimate China‘s determination to defend it。 The Chinese delegation comes to Alaska with strong sincerity。 Dialogue is better than confrontation，” Wang Yi said。
“But of course， there are still differences between the two sides，” Yang said in the press briefing after the talks wrapped up。
