U.S. and China Look to Repair Ties, Again

“U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken’s visit to Beijing last month was billed as an effort to put a floor under fast-deteriorating ties between the world’s two biggest economies,” the Wall Street Journal reports.

“In the weeks that followed, if anything, the U.S.-China relationship has gotten rockier.”

“On Thursday, as a fresh emissary from the Biden administration, Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen, arrived in Beijing, some Chinese observers struck a cautiously optimistic tone, saying her meetings could help establish more avenues for dialogue between two governments that have struggled to maintain high-level talks in recent years.”
