US, China call Blinken’s Beijing visit “candid and constructive”

Despite very chilly relations between China and the U.S. these days, both countries are calling the start of a two-day meeting between their foreign ministers “candid and constructive.”

U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken is in Beijing to speak with his counterpart Chin Gang and other Chinese officials — the first such visit in five years.

As Redmond Shannon reports, the agenda will mostly involve trying to rebuild some much-needed trust between the two superpowers.

When you do Photoshoping, there is a trick, you can crop out the sky and make it darker. Now your filter makes Blinken look like a minority

No news on Ukraine counteroffensive? If Ukraine wins back a square foot, it makes headline news. We heard nothing for 2 weeks on the counteroffensive. Clearly not going well. Glory to 🇷🇺 Russia

Bliken is first Secretary of State who was welcomed by China with the lowest diplomatic protocol ever. Bliken was given a redline to follow instead of red carpet to walk on😢
