President Obama broached human rights and cyber espionage in his final meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping, the White House said Friday.
“The president reiterated America’s unwavering support for upholding human rights and fundamental freedoms in China,” the White House said in a statement about the meeting, which took place Thursday afternoon on the sidelines of a nuclear security summit in Washington.
The three-paragraph White House statement devoted one sentence to human rights. On cybersecurity, the White House said Mr. Obama reiterated that the U.S. “will continue to monitor whether Chinese actions demonstrate their adherence to the commitments” that the leaders made last year to stop cyber-hacking.
