US Secretary of State Antony Blinken received high praise from President Joe Biden following his diplomatic mission to China, which aimed to improve strained relations between the two countries. Biden expressed his satisfaction with the progress made during Blinken’s trip, stating that they were “on the right trail.” During his visit, Blinken had a surprise 35-minute meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping, making him the highest-level American official to visit China in nearly five years. Both sides agreed on various issues and expressed a desire for stable relations. The talks were described as candid, substantive, and constructive by the US State Department.
Furthermore, Blinken’s meeting with Chinese officials could potentially pave the way for a meeting between President Biden and President Xi in November. Both sides agreed to continue open lines of communication and maintain high-level interactions. While the rivalry between the US and China remains, there is a joint realization that war must be avoided. However, competition will continue across various aspects, with both countries competing in every index of power.
Blinken also raised concerns about China’s actions in the Taiwan Strait, as well as in the South and East China Seas. He reiterated the longstanding US policy of “one China” and emphasized that the US does not support Taiwan independence. China considers Taiwan a part of its territory and emphasized the need to safeguard national unity. While the talks have shown some progress, geopolitical tensions between the two countries may still remain high. Both sides have not changed their threat assessments or intentions, indicating that there is still work to be done in improving relations.
