Calling Chard: asparagus and leek risotto with chicken | SaltWireSHANGHAI - U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken will meet business leaders in Shanghai on Thursday as ties between Washington and Beijing stabilise, pushing to resolve a raft of issues threatening the newly gained equilibrium between the rivals.
Blinken, in a short video statement posted to X with the Shanghai skyline in the background late on Wednesday, said curbing the flow of chemicals used to make fentanyl to the U.S. from China was one of several issues he was in China to work on. Blinken also attended a basketball game and dined at a steamed bun restaurant Wednesday night with U.S. Ambassador Nicholas Burns, underscoring the importance to the U.S. of rebuilding personal connections with the Chinese people.
Blinken will press China to stop its firms from retooling and resupplying Russia's defence industrial base. Moscow invaded Ukraine in February 2022, just days after agreeing a"no limits" partnership with Beijing, and while China has steered clear of providing arms, U.S. officials warn Chinese companies are sending dual-use technology that helps Russia's war effort.
