After five years of growing tensions among China Japan and the U.S.A., U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken will make an official visit to Beijing on 5-6 February 2023.
There is a long list of possible issues to discuss although the list of common actions may be much shorter. Probably at the head of the list is the Russian invasion of Ukraine and its geopolitical and economic impact. There follows the status of Taiwan.
