Blinken arrives Beijing on high-stakes mission to cool soaring US-China tensions

Deccan Chronicle  

Beijing: US Secretary of State Antony Blinken arrived in Beijing early Sunday on a high-stakes diplomatic mission to try to cool exploding U.S.-China tensions that have set many around the world on edge. CIA chief William Burns traveled to China in May, while China's commerce minister traveled to the U.S. And Biden's national security adviser Jake Sullivan met with Yi in Vienna in May. And, earlier this month, China's defense minister rebuffed a request from U.S. Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin for a meeting on the sidelines of a security symposium in Singapore, a sign of continuing discontent. 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, and 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 advisers 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.
