Blinken in China: They talk. For five and a half hours

U.S. Secretary of State Blinken meets with Chinese Foreign Minister Qin Gang on Sunday, June 18, 2023, in Beijing. Blinken, whose February 2023 trip was postponed following the reveal of an alleged Chinese spy balloon flying over U.S. airspace, is the first U.S. secretary of state to visit China in five years.

Antony Blinken is in China. It is the first visit by a US Secretary of State in five years. The talks are frosty - but the fact that they happen at all is a success. Relations between China and the USA are strained; the most important thing is to prevent an escalation. The question now is whether Blinken will also meet Xi.
