The United States and China have begun talks in Beijing about human rights.
The last formal talks held between the two nations on human rights were held in October last year.
US Assistant Secretary of State Lorne Craner is leading the 11th round of the human rights dialogue and will meet the chief justice of China’s supreme court and other high-ranking bureaucrats.
Subjects up for discussion include workers’ rights, religious freedom, Falun Gong and issues related to Tibet and Xinjiang.
