U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken's recent arrival in China marks a critical juncture in U.S.-China relations, amidst a backdrop of rising tensions and deep-seated disagreements on a range of global and regional issues. Blinken's visit, aimed at addressing these contentious points, comes at a time when the relationship between the two superpowers is under significant strain, further complicated by the passage of a new U.S. foreign aid bill viewed unfavorably by Beijing.
