Blinken arrives in Beijing for high-stakes visit to China

BBC

US Secretary of State Antony Blinken has arrived in Beijing for two days of meetings with Chinese officials.

The trip marks the first visit by an American diplomat to China in almost five years.

US officials say the main goal of the talks is to stabilise a relationship that has become extremely tense.

It comes nearly five months after an earlier Blinken visit was postponed, following the flight of a suspected Chinese spy balloon in US airspace.

The US has been lowering expectations for the visit and both sides have made clear they do not expect any major breakthrough.
