Progress has been made. “We’re on the right track here.” Blinken was the highest U.S. visitor to China since U.S. President Joe Biden took office in January 2021.
At the end of their two-day talks, Blinken said both parties agreed “that we need to stabilize our relationship”. As a special gesture, China’s head of state and party leader Xi Jinping even received him, which was unusual in terms of protocol. During his meeting with Blinken, Xi Jinping spoke of “progress” during the visit. Both sides had “agreed on certain issues”.
The US and China disagree on trade issues, China’s support for Russian President Vladimir Putin in his war of aggression against Ukraine, China’s territorial claims in the South and East China Seas, and threats to the democratic island republic of China, among other things . Taiwan.
The exchange between Beijing and Berlin is also gaining momentum: the new Chinese head of government, Li Qiang, started a visit to Germany in Berlin with a meeting with the German Federal President, Frank-Walter Steinmeier. Government talks will follow on Tuesday with Chancellor Olaf Scholz and ministers from both sides. (con/sda/dpa)
