TL;DR Summary

US Secretary of State Antony Blinken met with Chinese Foreign Minister Qin Gang and top diplomat Wang Yi in Beijing on a high-stakes diplomatic mission to cool US-China tensions. Blinken's trip makes him the highest-level American official to visit China since Joe Biden became US president and the first US secretary of state to make the trip in nearly five years. Expectations for a significant recovery in the US-China relationship remain low, but the visit could pave the way for a November meeting between Biden and his Chinese counterpart Xi.
