Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi held phone talks with his Russian counterpart Sergey Lavrov and discussed US foreign policy, TASS reported referring to China's MFA.

The American side quite openly puts its own interests above others, shows selfishness and unilateralism, uses persecution to its extreme extent, China's FM noted.
