BEIJING: Antony Blinken arrived in China on Sunday (local time) and became the US' first Secretary of State in five years to make a visit to Beijing, The Washington Post reported. On a two-day visit to China, Blinken is expected to hold a high-stakes meeting aimed at stabilizing a relationship under historic stress. His hosts previewed the tense visit with multiple rebukes of the United States, accusing Washington of engaging in "irresponsible bullying" and living under the "illusion" they could deal with China from a "position of strength."BEIJING: Antony Blinken arrived in China on Sunday (local time) and became the US' first Secretary of State in five years to make a visit to Beijing, The Washington Post reported. On a two-day visit to China, Blinken is expected to hold a high-stakes meeting aimed at stabilizing a relationship under historic stress. His hosts previewed the tense visit with multiple rebukes of the United States, accusing Washington of engaging in "irresponsible bullying" and living under the "illusion" they could deal with China from a "position of strength."Last month, President Joe Biden predicted a thaw in China's anger over the US downing of its high-altitude surveillance balloon in February. The White House has indicated that Blinken's trip could unlock a series of meetings between US and Chinese officials, including a leader-to-leader engagement with President Xi Jinping."I'm hoping that over the next several months I'll be meeting with Xi again, and talking about legitimate differences we have but also how ... to get along," Biden told reporters before leaving for Philadelphia
