Meeting US Secretary of State Antony Blinken in Beijing, President Xi Jinping called for seeking common ground and reserving differences. Xi also warned against the US saying one thing to China but doing the opposite, noting that the two countries should be partners rather than rivals. In a separate meeting, Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi said the US and China face a choice between stability and a downward spiral in their relations. What does Blinken’s visit tell us about the current trajectory in US-China ties? Can the two sides find a way to get along?
