China's Xi Meets US Secretary of State Blinken in Beijing

President Xi Jinping warned America’s top diplomat that the US shouldn’t target or oppose China, as the world’s largest economies wrapped two days of talks spanning thorny disputes on trade and Beijing’s support for Russia’s war machine.

The Chinese leader met with US Secretary of State Antony Blinken in Beijing on Friday afternoon, as the two superpowers continued dialogue to manage a growing list of differences. While the substance of talks was confrontational, both sides refrained from the sharpest rhetoric. They also announced a new working group on artificial intelligence to start in the coming weeks, bolstering expectations for keeping ties steady.

“China and the United States should be partners rather than rivals,” Xi told Blinken, according to a Chinese Foreign Ministry statement. The two sides should “seek common ground and reserve differences, rather than engage in vicious competition,” he added.

😂😂Blinken was nervous while shaking hand with Xi

[marccox]

Xi is absolutely an important partner to the USA in restraining Putin, so yes trust him but always verify and hold him to his word .. as for Taiwain Blinken should maintain strategic ambiguity publically, but the Tawainese must always remain vigilant and never appear to be an easy target - but not directly provoke Xi or the military either .. also, don't forget Xi has to appear as a strong leader to China, and he has adversaries also so always good if Blinken can find common interests with him also.
