WASHINGTON - US Secretary of State Antony Blinken said on Friday that his coming visit to China aims to open up better communications “by addressing misperceptions and avoiding miscalculations.”
The first goal of the trip to China, Mr Blinken said in a press conference, is “to establish open and empowered communications, so that our two countries responsibly manage our relationship.” Dr Balakrishnan said the Asian region had its eye on US-China relations, calling it “the challenge of the century”.“The rest of the world will be watching. So we hope and believe that you will be able to manage the differences,” he said.The Blinken visit comes as relations between the two superpowers have been particularly strained, on the issue of Taiwan, on China’s ambitions to expand its political and security influence around the globe, and on economic relations.
Earlier this week, Mr Daniel Kritenbrink, the top State Department official for East Asia, stressed that the United States was “realistic” about what Mr Blinken could achieve in China.
