Blinken's China visit faces tension and low trust.
TL;DR Summary
US Secretary of State Antony Blinken has arrived in China for a two-day visit, the highest-level trip by a US official in nearly five years. The visit was postponed four months ago due to a Chinese spy balloon flying over US soil. Both countries have voiced an interest in seeking greater stability, but neither side expects breakthroughs on issues such as trade, technology, and regional security. The US has reached deals on troop deployments in southern Japan and the northern Philippines, both strategically close to Taiwan.
