Blinken Resumes China Trip Post Spy Balloon Incident.

Secretary of State Antony Blinken is set to travel to China next week for meetings with senior Chinese officials, including Foreign Minister Qin Gang and possibly President Xi Jinping. The visit, which was postponed after a Chinese surveillance balloon was shot down over U.S. airspace in February, comes as the Biden administration seeks to improve ties with China. Tensions have risen over China's conduct in the South China Sea, aggressive actions toward Taiwan, and support for Russia's war against Ukraine.
