Summary so far:

  • US Secretary of State Antony Blinken has met China's President Xi Jinping as he wraps up a two-day visit to Beijing
  • Blinken says he and Xi had "robust conversation" about global affairs, including Russia's "war of aggression against Ukraine"
  • He says he has been seeking to "disabuse" China of the notion the US is "seeking to economically contain them"
  • Blinken reiterates that the US does not support Taiwan's independence - stating it does not wish to change the status quo
  • Alleged human rights violations in Xinjiang, Tibet and Hong Kong, as well as the issue of North Korea, were also raised
  • Blinken says some parts of the talks were "constructive", but adds there is "work to do" in other areas
  • Blinken earlier spent hours in meetings with Chinese top diplomat Wang Yi and Foreign Minister Qin Gang
  • China-US ties have steadily declined due to trade conflicts, tensions over human rights, and Taiwan - among other issues

I read that he tried to re-establish the military communication line with China again (so the US can spy at your border and swim in your straits, but always keep in touch to see if they overdo it, without it, provocation is much more difficult), but China declined - and Western media will therefore not mention it
