U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton is keeping up the pressure on China to settle a territorial dispute with Japan and lower tensions in East Asia.
 
America’s top diplomat is making a rare visit Saturday to China’s Hainan Island. She’s delivering the same message to Chinese State Councilor Dai Bingguo that she conveyed just hours before to China’s foreign minister during a meeting in Vietnam.

These sessions are intended to ease strains in U.S.-China ties ahead of Chinese President Hu Jintao’s state visit next year to Washington.

Clinton is calling for talks among the U.S., China and Japan to resolve a dispute between Tokyo and Beijing over islands in the East China Sea. The dispute has sent relations between China and Japan to new lows.
