Blinken's High-Stakes Visit to China: Seeking Cooperation and Cooling Tensions.
TL;DR Summary
US Secretary of State Antony Blinken will seek China's cooperation in curbing the production of fentanyl during his two-day visit to Beijing, one of several contentious issues that the high-stakes diplomatic outreach will touch on. Fentanyl issues are a test of US-China cooperation outside pressing geopolitical disputes, including China's threat to unify with Taiwan, technology transfers, China's relationship with Russia, surveillance disputes, and trade imbalances. US law enforcement agencies have repeatedly placed blame on Chinese companies for shipping precursor chemicals to Mexico, where cartels manufacture and ship the deadly drug to the US.
