US Secretary of State Antony Blinken's recent Visit to China was successful in reestablishing lines of communication and managing competition, according to US officials. While the meeting between Blinken and President Xi Jinping was described as important and symbolically significant, little substantive agreement was reached beyond returning to the agreement reached by Xi and President Joe Biden at a summit in Bali last November. China's apparent disdain for reestablishing military-to-military communications with the US was also a point of concern. Overall, while the meeting was cautiously seen as a positive step, tensions between the two superpowers are likely to continue.
