No breakthrough expected during Blinken’s trip to China
No breakthrough is expected during Secretary of State Blinken’s weekend visit to China. Tensions between the U.S. and China have festered in recent years, but recently the two sides have held talks on trade and other issues. Secretary Blinken is scheduled to arrive in Beijing on Sunday for a two-day visit. He will be the first secretary of state to visit China since 2018 and is expected to meet with the foreign minister and China’s president. However, the White House National Security Council is downplaying expectations, saying Blinken is not likely to make a significant breakthrough.
