Washington Post: Blinken arrives in Beijing amid deep fissures in U.S.-China relations
BEIJING — Antony Blinken became the first secretary of state to visit China in five years on Sunday as he arrived in the country for two days of high-stakes meetings 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” it could deal with China from a “position of strength.”
China’s foreign minister, Qin Gang, warned Blinken that he should “show respect” during a pre-trip phone call, and made clear his view that Washington alone was responsible for the abysmal state of relations.

The gays have sapped our will to assault the Dagu Forts.
Also Nicholas Maduro.
I sincerely hope that this trip nets something tangible for the benefit of the US and not another humiliation that they come back from and declare, "We had frank dialogue and made progress". (which means the Biden delegation were treated like children and sent home with nothing but Chinese laughter)
Yes, Remember the Chinese and American meeting in Anchorage two years ago. What a disaster.
Blinkie in China to beg for help.
Blink is incompetent. Nothing good will come from this visit.
Too bad they didn't greet him with balloons.
To the back of the passport queue in the tourist section.
