WASHINGTON: US Secretary of State Antony Blinken will visit Beijing on Feb 5-6, a US official said on Tuesday , confirming a long-awaited trip aimed at keeping high tensions in check between the world's two largest economies.
Blinken will be the first US secretary of state to visit China since October 2018 when his Republican predecessor Mike Pompeo, known for his blistering criticism of Beijing, made a brief stop following talks with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un in Pyongyang. Tensions soared in August as China staged war games near Taiwan, which it claims, following a defiant visit to the self-governing democracy by Nancy Pelosi, then the speaker of the US House of Representatives.
"We're not looking for conflict. We'll manage the competition responsibly, but we will compete vigorously," Blinken said.Biden, like his predecessor Donald Trump, has described China as the only long-term competitor to US leadership in the world and has sought to orient US foreign policy around this challenge.
