TL;DR Summary
US Secretary of State Antony Blinken discussed Taiwan and other contentious issues with China's top diplomat Wang Yi during his visit to Beijing aimed at preventing friction between the two powers from escalating into conflict. The talks were described as "candid" and "constructive" but made little concrete progress on the wide-ranging disputes, which included Taiwan, trade, human rights, and the war in Ukraine. Both sides emphasized the importance of making it easier for their citizens to visit and agreed on working to increase passenger flights.
