U.S., China remain at odds on numerous issues as Blinken finishes first day of meetings in Beijing

LA Times  

U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken, center, walks with Chinese Foreign Minister Qin Gang, right, at the Diaoyutai State Guesthouse in Beijing on Sunday. Blinken, the highest-level American official to visit China since President Biden took office, will have more senior level contacts with the Chinese on Monday, including potentially with Chinese leader Xi Jinping. Blinken’s trip follows his postponement of plans to visit China in February after the shootdown of a Chinese surveillance balloon over the U.S. Blinken is the highest-level American official to visit China since President Biden took office. Austin said Friday he was confident that he and his Chinese counterpart would meet “at some point in time, but we’re not there yet.” Underscoring the difficulties, China rejected a report by a U.S. security firm, that blamed Chinese-linked hackers for attacks on hundreds of public agencies, schools and other targets around the world, as “far-fetched and unprofessional.” A Chinese foreign ministry spokesperson repeated accusations that Washington carries out hacking attacks and complained the cybersecurity industry rarely reports on them. That followed a similar retort earlier in the week when China said Qin had, in a phone call with Blinken, urged the United States to respect “China’s core concerns” such as the issue of Taiwan’s self-rule, “stop interfering in China’s internal affairs, and stop harming China’s sovereignty, security and development interests in the name of competition.” Meanwhile, the national security advisors of the United States, Japan and the Philippines held their first joint talks Friday and agreed to strengthen their defense cooperation, in part to counter China’s growing influence and ambitions.
