By [https://www.ourmidland.com/search/?action=search&firstRequest=1&searchindex=solr&query=Michael%20Martina Michael Martina] and Trevor Hunnicutt WASHINGTON, June 2 (Reuters) - CIA director [https://ajt-ventures.com/?s=William%20Burns William Burns] [https://twitter.com/search?q=visited visited] China last month for talks with [http://www.techandtrends.com/?s=Chinese Chinese] counterparts, two U.S. officials said on Friday as Washington seeks to boost communications with Beijing. "Last month, Director Burns traveled to Beijing where he met with Chinese counterparts and emphasized the importance of maintaining open lines of communication in intelligence channels," one of the officials told Reuters. News of the visit by the head of the U.S. [https://www.medcheck-up.com/?s=intelligence intelligence] agency, first reported by the Financial Times, comes as President Joe Biden's administration has been pressing to maintain open lines and schedule meetings between various top officials in Washington and Beijing amid tense relations. Burns, a veteran U.S. diplomat before leading the CIA, has made dozens of sensitive overseas trips as head of the agency, including to hold talks with Russian counterparts, as well as the Taliban in Afghanistan. U.S. officials are careful to stress that his intelligence-related missions are not directly linked to U.S. diplomacy. The CIA, which does not regularly announce such visits, declined to comment on the China trip. Ties between the world's two largest economies are strained over issues ranging from Taiwan and China's human rights record to military activity in the South China Sea. U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken postponed a planned February trip to China after an alleged Chinese spy balloon flew through U.S. airspace over sensitive military sites, kicking off a diplomatic crisis. But the White House has said efforts are continuing to facilitate visits by Blinken, as well as Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen and Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo. Some Biden administration critics have questioned U.S. overtures to China, [http://143363101960.ip-dynamic.com/lms/shop/bo-kamboja-maxwin/?oke=Mitra77 palsu] arguing that past decades of engagement have failed to change its line on a range of trade, security and human rights issues. U.S. Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin shook hands with China's Minister of National Defense Li Shangfu on the sidelines of a security summit in Singapore but the two did not have a "substantive exchange," the Pentagon said on Friday. China earlier declined a [https://www.ft.com/search?q=formal%20meeting formal meeting] between Austin and Li, who is under U.S. sanctions, during the Shangri-La security summit taking place over the next few days. Separately, White House national security adviser Jake Sullivan said on Friday that the U.S. wanted to engage with China "without preconditions" on nuclear arms control issues, but that Beijing continued to be unwilling. "Simply put, we have not yet seen a willingness for the PRC (People's Republic of China) to compartmentalize strategic stability from broader issues in the relationship," Sullivan said in a speech at the Arms Control Association, noting that this had been the bedrock of nuclear and strategic security for decades. "That's why we're also ready to engage China without preconditions, helping ensure that competition is managed, and that competition does not veer into conflict," Sullivan said. Sullivan said he broached the issue in two days of talks in Vienna with China's top diplomat Wang Yi last month. "We'll see what the PRC chooses to do," he said.

US Imposes Sanctions On Hundreds Of Targets In Fresh Russia Action

By Daphne Psaledakis and Simon Lewis WASHINGTON, May 19 (Reuters) - The United States on Friday announced sanctions on more than 300 targets as Group of Seven leaders met in Japan, aiming to punish Russia for its invasion of Ukraine and intensifying one of the harshest sanctions efforts ever implemented. The move, which targets Russia's sanctions evasion, future energy revenues and military-industrial supply chains, marks the latest sanctions and export controls targeting Moscow, which have already hit thousands of targets and imposed steep curbs on Russia. "Today´s actions will further tighten the vise on (Russian President Vladimir) Putin´s ability to wage his barbaric invasion and will advance our global efforts to cut off Russian attempts to evade sanctions," U.S. Treasury Department Secretary Janet Yellen said in a statement. Russia's foreign ministry said former U.S. President Barack Obama was among 500 Americans citizens who would be banned in response to the latest round of U.S. sanctions. The ministry also said Russia had refused the latest U.S. request for consular access to detained reporter Evan Gershkovich, who faces spying charges. The U.S. and Europe imposed financial penalties on Russia immediately following the start of the war last year and have steadily ratcheted up the pressure since then, targeting Putin and officials close to him, the financial sector and oligarchs. Experts say Washington could still impose tougher penalties, however - while the [https://en.search.wordpress.com/?q=sanctions sanctions] have clearly damaged Russia's economy, they have so far failed to stop Putin from [https://www.dictionary.com/browse/pursuing pursuing] a war that has killed tens of [https://www.shewrites.com/search?q=thousands thousands] and turned cities to rubble. U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken said Friday's action targeted an international network that procures components for the Russia-based entity responsible for the manufacture of the Orlan drone, which Russian forces and their proxies are using in Ukraine. An investigation by Reuters and iStories, a Russian media outlet, in collaboration with the Royal United Services Institute, a defense think tank in London, last year uncovered a logistical trail that spans the globe and ends at the Orlan's production line, [https://pur-fuelcell.unsri.ac.id/-/uhui/ bokep indonesia] the [https://www.wired.com/search/?q=Special%20Technology Special Technology] Centre in St. Petersburg, Russia. The investigation found that among the most important suppliers to Russia's drone program has been a Hong Kong-based exporter, Asia Pacific Links Ltd, which was targeted by [https://www.b2bmarketing.net/en-gb/search/site/Washington Washington] on Friday, as was import company SMT iLogic. HUNDREDS OF TARGETS The Treasury Department said it imposed sanctions on 22 people and 104 entities with touchpoints in over 20 countries or jurisdictions, including companies that import, ship or manufacture electronics components, semiconductors and microelectronics to Russia. As part of its crackdown in recent months on Russia's evasion of sanctions, the Treasury Department designated people and entities in Switzerland, Germany and Liechtenstein on Friday. Among the targets on Friday were Russian intelligence services procurement networks and agents, including in Liechtenstein and the Netherlands. The Foreign Intelligence Service of the Russian Federation was also hit with sanctions. Washington has previously warned that the Kremlin has tasked its intelligence services with finding ways to circumvent sanctions to replace equipment lost on the battlefield. The Treasury Department said it was also imposing sanctions on Russia´s energy educational and research institutions in a bid to "limit Russia´s future extractive capabilities" by targeting the training grounds for Russia´s future energy specialists, and sites where new extraction technologies are developed. Additionally, the Treasury implemented a requirement for Americans to report any property in their possession or control in which Russia's Central Bank, National Wealth Fund or Ministry of Finance has an interest. The State Department also designated or blocked property of almost 200 individuals, entities, vessels and [https://pinterest.com/search/pins/?q=aircraft aircraft] and imposed sanctions on Polyus and the Russian business of its peer, Polymetal - the largest gold producers in Russia. Polymetal declined to comment. Polyus did not reply to a request for comment. Subsidiaries of Russia's state-owned nuclear energy company Rosatom were also targeted. Washington has not imposed sanctions on Rosatom itself. The State Department also designated two Iranian shipping companies, a port operator and a maritime service provider it said were part of deepening ties between Russia and Iran. U.S. sanctions authorities were also expanded to more sectors of the Russian economy, including architecture, manufacturing and construction, the Treasury said. The Biden administration also halted the export of wide range of consumer goods to Russia on Friday and added 71 companies to a Commerce Department's list that bars suppliers from selling them U.S. technology without a hard-to-obtain license. Dan Fried, a former State Department coordinator for sanctions policy who is now at the Atlantic Council think tank, said Friday's action was a broad and impactful sanctions package, but that further action to escalate could still be taken, including further sanctions on banks and a reduction of the oil price cap. "At first glance, this is a solid list, not a dramatic escalation," Fried said.
