BBC: Antony Blinken hails 'candid' talks on high stakes China trip
US Secretary of State Antony Blinken held "candid" talks with his Chinese counterpart at the start of two days of meetings with officials in China, the US state department says.
Mr Blinken emphasised the need for diplomacy and keeping "open channels of communication", a statement added.
His trip is the first by a top US diplomat to China in almost five years. A planned Blinken visit in February was called off after a suspected Chinese spy balloon flew in US airspace.
US officials say the main goal of the Beijing talks is to stabilise a relationship that has become extremely tense.

"Candid"
Just like someone here (not me) predicted. You know the trip accomplished nothing, when they roll out the adjectives.
Truthfully, it did accomplish something. Blinkie the clown was seen to engage in process, which is for nightly news consumption by hoi poloi.
