America: US Secretary of State Antony Blinken is currently on a tour of China. This visit of Blinken is considered very important in terms of relations between America and China and their improvement. During the visit, Blinken also met with Chinese President Xi Jinping today and discussed improving US-China relations.
Blinken is the first high-level US official to visit China since US President Joe Biden took office. He is the first US Secretary of State to visit Beijing in five years.
Biden and Chinese President Xi Jinping agreed to visit Blinken soon at a meeting in Bali last year. It was due to take place in February but was delayed after Chinese spy balloons were spotted in US skies.
