Beijing urged Washington on Wednesday to “respect” China's “core interests” as well as “uphold the one-China principle” as Chinese President Xi Jinping prepares to visit the US, Chinese state media reported.

The reiteration of Beijing’s concerns was raised by Foreign Minister Wang Yi during a face-to-face meeting with US Secretary of State Marco Rubio in the Philippines.
