Secretary of State Antony Blinken is set to embark on a trip to China in the coming week as part of the Biden administration's efforts to maintain stability in the US-China relationship. This will be Blinken's second visit to China since assuming his role as the top US diplomat.
The upcoming trip follows a recent phone call between President Joe Biden and Chinese President Xi Jinping, signaling a renewed dialogue between the two leaders. A senior State Department official noted that the bilateral relationship has improved significantly compared to a year ago when tensions were at a historic low.
