Blinken's Visit to China and US-China Diplomatic Differences

Secretary Blinken's recent visit to China highlighted US concerns over China's support for Russia in the Ukraine conflict and aggression in the South China Sea. The US aimed to address these persistent issues, emphasizing a stern warning and case-by-case approach in diplomatic interactions.
