Chinese Foreign Minister Qin Gang told Secretary of State Antony Blinken the US should stop hurting China’s security interests in the name of competition in a call before the American official’s expected trip to Beijing.
Blinken raised a range of bilateral and global issues with the Chinese official, according to the State Department. Blinken is apparently planning to travel to Beijing for a rescheduled trip seen as a significant step toward restoring high-level communications between the rivals. Ties were derailed by an alleged Chinese spy balloon crossing the US earlier this year. Beijing said the aircraft was collecting weather data.
A Blinken visit to Beijing was one of the main outcomes from the meeting between the top leaders in Bali. They haven’t spoken since then, with Biden unable to secure a phone call with Xi after the balloon incident.
