US Secretary of State Antony Blinken held “candid, substantive, and constructive” talks with Chinese Foreign Minister Qin Gang in Beijing, the State Department said.
Sunday’s talks marked the start of the highest-level trip by a US official to China in nearly five years as the rival superpowers aim to stabilise strained relations.
“The Secretary emphasized the importance of diplomacy and maintaining open channels of communication across the full range of issues to reduce the risk of misperception and miscalculation,” State Department spokesperson Matthew Miller said.
Blinken invited Qin to Washington, DC to continue discussions, added Miller.

China is the enemy of the People
He’s arranging the 10% for the “big guy”
Uncle Xi?
You guy always state 10% a long time ago. May be it is 15 % ( or higher ) by now!
No red carpet, No soldiers, No high security, No top official and most importantly no American flag.
If you can’t take a hint after this you’ve got to be the most shameless person in this entire world.
Like when Emperor Xi visited Hong Kong , high fences , security guards and a handpicked crowd.
The question why USA warships are in the South CHINA Sea is never asked or questioned by Katrina YU.
@Joey Taiwan is a separate country. China can try to take it over but that would be disastrous for China.
@TJ Plaine Let me teach you some basic facts. First, no one country on earth recognizes Taiwan or ROC as a ‘separate’ country. They either recognize ROC or PRC as the legitimate government of the whole China, i.e., mainland and Taiwan island together. And second, ROC, or Taiwan has its own constitution clearly saying that both mainland China and Taiwan island are their territories, but the mainland is ‘to be unified’. Therefore, in either case, whether you support Taiwan or mainland China, the narrow strait between them, is Chinese water. Case closed!
@Joey You can’t teach me if you’re as ignorant on the subject as you are. The Taiwan strait does not belong to China and the US goes through the strait so China doesn’t forget.
@tjplaine;
Yes we have policed the world’s water for many years. But, sometime and somewhere we’ve used our powerful military capabilities to “bully” others to our will. And gradually that power with helpings of lackeys (are you one?) became our rules. When we’re the only ones to choose timing to use or not using it.
Why do you think that we never apply it on Russia’s waters, or when Russian military vessels roams around? Or even pirate ships rubbing those Chinese ships on India ocean? These rules do not apply, nor mentioned because it didn’t do nothing.
And we’ve never jointed the freedom of of navigation, because it limits our freedom of navigation to go to our neighbor’s yards, eg Canada and mexico. They don’t say anything either because we have the most powerful navy.
Now the “freedom of navigation” you’re talking about is for non-military. Everyone knows China never said nothing about it.
But if it’s military. You’ll can take care yourselves. Eventually, we’ll have to leave from China’s waters anyway, just like we left Russia’s waters along for a long long time.
@tjiplaine;
Also, as far as we’re concerned, taiwan is a part of China, and we agreed on the passing from the past China, RoC, to the present, or PRC.
Taiwan may manage itself, but lacks legality to proclaiming itself a country. Another words, manager doesn’t mean owner.
😤😤😤
Evil meets evil
@God Killer Are you still the US MSM follower? For your own sake, keep away from MSMs if you don’t want to be brainwashed. You have some kinds of symptoms.
@wynnWho is Charles Liu? This name sounds like a Hong Konger.
@LA InfonetYou’ve probably consumed a lot more plastic than you realise by eating fish ,so what’s a little radioactive waste going to you.
@GloriagloriaHe is from Taiwan but went to live in China.
As a Chinese spokespeople he and Victor Gao should be sacked.
They did perform well on their Al Jazeera interview.
@wynn The Japanese claim that the water contaminated by the nuclear reactor core breach is safe. If they pour this water into Japan’s rivers, lakes, and swimming pools, and subsequently let it flow into the ocean, I can accept that.
Jail blinken and sentence him for war crime, please.
*Putin
Your parents should be jailed for conceiving you
@Tom Motzerhe was talking about the Iraq war. They both should be locked up.
Drink water from your own cistern,
[water] that gushes from your fountain.
They invite themselves to lecture you. These Americans surely have been on the high horse for so long that for them the ground doesn’t exist.
@Jane Wu Begged what? China has very little leverage for there to be any begging. China is too weak to take on the US so instead of just throws empty insults around.
@BlardyMunggas We just want them to leave Taiwan alone.
@Bourbon Lover why should China leave their own territory alone. The world also hope that U S A leave Hawaii and the world alone
@BlardyMunggas I don’t believe Taiwan is Chinas territory.
@Bourbon Lover You must be from the west that is trapped in the bubble of lies. Go back to school and read real history. You look stupid otherwise
He was served dinner?!
He was served dog food.
@Max Madison oh he’ll be delighted if he eats dog food as long he’s allowed to land in China
No, a bowl of fast noodles with kind respect – two eggs were added in it.
USA want war with chine using India or taiwan
China should cut all communication lines with the USA. Americans are double-faced not to be trusted
The century of american humiliation has begun.
He visited without any official invitation or schedule.
No fanfare, no red carpet met just a ranking official at the ministry. Embarrassing!
He’ll get on his knees and plead. ‘Please buy our treasuries. Don’t sell our debt!’
@HighOnDialectic The US isn’t even close to second place. Chinas prosperity is also completely dependent on the American world order, and China knows it.
@Erik Robillard We’re not even close to that. That’s just wishful thinking from people who have know idea how the world has operated or will continue to operate.
@will Thank you. I think America being challenged a bit on the world stage is a net gain, because the US has gotten too comfortable. At the same time, American hegemony has resulted in stability and relative peace for most of the world.
@TJ Plaine maybe your story book miss few pages. the world is changing like it always did. next step will be extremely expensive cost for living. time will tell.
@HighOnDialectic they cant win a war against China. Usa today is not the usa of the 50s china can produce things at god speed for low cost. they are the 1rst already. some people already know that. even in us gov. its to late. i mean, china is not afganitan. they have the industrial capability to bring usa to their knees. i dont want to hurt no one by saying this but a war at this scale? il put my money on china without doubt.
Of course, he has ‘constructive’ talks in China what else can he say???
Secretary of State Antony Blinken is on a begging tour, “please keep on buying our debt”
“Please don’t ditch the dollar ” “Please stop advancing technologically, economically, militarily ”
“Please help us win the war against Russia so that we can attack you later”
“Please stop seeking peace in the middle east”
“Please help us remain the hegemon”
How does AI Jazeera speculate the talks were CONSTRUCTIVE?
Blinken refused to talk to Qin Gang while he was ambassador in the USA. Now Antony is all smile, how phony.
There will be no solid result of Blinken’s visit.
Half loaf is better than nothing.Even though it is difficult to improve the worst relationship,it is essential that we should keep hope alive.
America should not bite the hand that feeds it.
No one scrap for these lying warmongers, let them eat molten lead and iron.
So he came in a van? Still better than the treatment of Von der Leyen! LOL
She appeared on the first day and disappeared in the rest of days. Does Anyone know where was she busy for?
😂😂
Forked or sincere?
Xi should not meet with Blinken..
America is not be trusted.
America 😂😂😂
Blinken arrived through a hired taxi 😀😀
Asean Central Banks Agreed to Reduce US Dollar Dependence, Why?
Win-win solution 💫
Blinken’s trip to China is turning out to be a flop just as his recent trip to Saudi Arabia was a flop.
Biden’s offer to India to join NATO was also a flop as well as the failure of the US created proxy war backing Nazi’s in Ukraine is a flop.
As for the US led sanctions they have turned out to be the best advertising promotional campaign BRICS could ever hope for.
China could care less what the US thinks or says. 85% of the world could care less as well.
US & collective West make up only 15% of the world’s population.
The days of the collective West are numbered. ☠️
your parents marriage was a flop. it produced you. king flop.
United states time is gone
lol. for what?
just because you want it to, doesn’t mean it is.
maybe want harder..let me know if that works for you.
That means millions of innocent lives with be spared all around the world and less countries will be invaded
Usa scared from Russia China close relationship
lol. no we’re not.
Democracy for Qatar! 🧕🏼🧔🏻
Why? Are they disobeying US commands?
the US is desperate to dis-associate china from russia but little do they know that the era of american monopoly is fast coming to an end
It’s always a good news when we talk to each others.
No it’s not, it’s always good though when you stay in in your neighborhood and leave everyone else in real peace not western version “peace”
No, you need to learn from North Korea’s cases few years back.
China should have taken the advantage and ask Blinken to travel all around xinjiang freely and point out where the “genocide or human right violation” is happening since the CPC does not even know about it. Maybe Blinken knows better. If Blinken can’t find the genocide then he should stop spreading fake news
@Sareeye Ma Nusqaame The reason there is tension between China and the US is due to China bothering its neighbors.
LOL … they could not quit the bad habit of FAKE IN CHINA.
An Arab media becomes a US mouthpiece hiring Chinese descent as the reporter like the way western countries government do, hiring Chinese, African, Korean, Indian just to use as a showcase and tool to their own purposes nothing more than that …
Kudo to Bliken.. he dont want to be there but he goes there anyway caz he needs china to help.. but he will probably get nothing as you can see how frosty their meetings are.
Don’t agree with the US, they discovered that they cannot bullying the Chinese 😅
China should be aware of promises made by the west, promises are nothing more than empty words. 🤔
As soon as Blinken gets back to America, the smearing campaign restarts.
It yes already started. The western empire of lies cannot and should never be trusted !😅
Our message to CCP is pretty clear. First, South China Sea does not belong to China. We are free to navigate wherever and whenever we want to. Second, don’t challenge us on the issue of Taiwan. It is a free country and will remain that way.
that’s not gonna have agreement. Unless you bring your 11 carrier here and defeat China.
@Sareeye Ma Nusqaame America has not and does not need to beg China. Nice fantasy though.
@雷 電擊槍 The US is prepared to do that, which is why China won’t take any drastic measures.
@TJ Plaine “America doesn’t need to beg China” as it begs to China as America begs China to answer the call when China is in no mood to answer
@Sareeye Ma Nusqaame Go back to whatever fantasy world you live in 😂
The western empire of lies cannot bdctrusted. Be very careful !!!
Junky Biden’s Chinese Partners exporting Fentanyl to the United States 🇺🇸.
I am stone out . . .
everytime that US had met with China, US dropped a bombshell on China the next day or so . . . .
this time, it will be a nuke-bombshell since US had been so eager to set up meeting with China . . .
I am stone out again . . .
No need to talk to him. US Navy and planes travel thousands of miles to intimidate China.
President Xi is more eager to meet Palestinian president or Bill Gates.
China tries to penetrate every corner of the globe, expanding into space and cyberspace. International community need to deal with this imperialism.
The United States has 313 military bases surrounding China and has just added 4 more new bases lately in the Philippines. US warships and spy planes are constantly on China’s doorstep. Why? This has been the US containment strategy of China since the Cold War. Now China is getting stronger. Of course, China wants to push back the US threat. The US is a world hegemony and it always acts like an 800-pound gorilla can sleep anywhere it wants to. Might is right, right? But the jungle has changed, China has grown into another 800-pound gorilla. It is not a good idea for the US to continuously venture into another 800-pound gorilla’s backyard which inevitably leads to a fight. A fight the US isn’t sure it can win on China’s home turf. If the US backs off, that makes the US look weak in front of its allies who depend on US protection. This is the pain the United States has got in dealing with China: Doesn’t know what to do with China. 🤣🤣🤣
Biden made an interesting remark about a Chinese reconnaissance balloon that invaded US airspace. “Xi Jinping would not have known the existence of reconnaissance balloons” We need to treat this remark with interest. Because of that, the relationship between the US and China is not simple.
Do you mean the USA can’t just wipe China off the map like Iraq and Libya? The only simple thing the USA understands is war.
Biden lies all the time, you don’t know which his comments were true or false.
China has satellites above us all.the time anyway.
You can see the Chinese body language they are not interested at all and want nothing to do with them.
GOD bless China,Glory to China in jesus mighty name Amen,the cause and foundations of the war is Italy and France Paris and,America,Napolitano,Napoli,Taranto,Torino,sardinia,Rome……
0:18 the US side a Asian lady with them is a micro aggression and it’s meant to serve purpose bring someone none Asian wouldn’t serve. It’s either meant to serve as micro aggression or a deception tool.
serious grave digging
USA blinken is a lack lustre lackey with NOTHING to offer but hot air balloons!
america will not fight for biden.
Now they go out for beers, and shots at the strip club.
He should have made his appointment through Microsoft to meet with the boss 😂😂😂
Look Lee, if we work it out behind Putins back, we get the land on the west and you get the land on the east side. Doesn’t that sound great?
Imagine welcoming the actual devil round
That’s why the US hasn’t invited Xi to its soil.
The problem is this talk mean nothing to Biden and US lawmakers , anti China still pouring like rain .
clarification. not just China, majority of the nations in the world, US included, agree that Taiwan is part of China.
Obviously us has failed to contain China all these years with all kind and type of dirty tricks. Now us is running out of dirty tricks and has realized that it is not as easy as they have thought that China is like other or 30 years ago China. Finally us realized it’s better to be good with China for the benefits of both countries.
Nah … don’t expect Lucifer to be Angel again
We R leaving…Good Bye…Tootaloo…Chezchez…..Arigato/Sianora…..Adios….Namastae! 👉👏👏👏👏👏🙏🙏
It has been 52 years since Kissinger visited China in 1971.
The world was shown that the positions of the United States and China had been reversed.
Blinken’s visit to China means that America is inferior.
Since Kissinger’s visit to China, the United States has positioned China as Asia’s number one partner, and as requested by China,
Removes the Republic of China from the UN permanent membership and repeats Japan bashing
Japan dropped to 3rd place in the world by GDP, and China moved to 2nd place.
Prior to Blinken’s visit to China, China invited Elon Musk and Bill Gates to meet with President Xi Jinping. “China is better.”
It is inevitable that export bans and sanctions on advanced technologies such as semiconductors will be lifted, and Biden also said he would like to visit China, making it clear that the US-China confrontation was a fiction.
As it is, Biden will return to the promise of Kissinger Zhou Enlai, the G2 concept to divide the United States and China in the Pacific, in other words, it is highly likely that both Taiwan and Japan will become China. In Japan, 90% of politicians, business circles, and bureaucrats are pro-China, and they are already preparing to fall under China’s control.
👍👍👍🇧🇷🇷🇺🇮🇳🇨🇳🇿🇦➕️✌️👏👏👏
The americans have so much everything against China from economy to tech to military – all builtin fears due to the low mentality of hegemony that they must prevail above all. Nothing can change the status quo now unless US stop all the meddling,sanction, military builtup in SCS,etc….it is for US to make these moves to a pathway of peace.
The US fools everyone and do business with China vigorously 😂😂😂😂.
What happened to that old witch Nutty Pelotti? Is she dead yet ? She started all these pandemonium.
he is concern Xi may skip APAC summit or Xi may go to APAC summit but will not meet any US representatives. Xi will not attend if HK chief is not invited.
“Constructive”??? He will soon release some contradicting & damaging statement once he reach home!
The US talks but delivers very little. We will take it with a massive spoon of salt.
Katrina Yu is only Chinese by name. Just like Gordan Chang, Joshua Wong and that female singer that no one remembers anymore.
This Blinky dude is just as obnoxious as the orange buffoon.
Nobody would take this Blinken joker seriously considering he’s not going to have a government job next election.
It is just waste of time to have any diplomatic talk with a zero credit executive leadership of USA. Better wait until the new Executive USB will be elected.
Whatever deal with made China’s going to break that deal
Look at bliken acting like his sheat don’t stink pompous and full of arrongancy,do you see homeless in the streets of china like you have it all over your country US?
The report has one mistake: the warship conflict did not happen in south China sea but in Taiwan strait.
Trump has closed the line and Biden failed to improve. If us wants the line opened, it should stop muddling with Taiwan issue, learn to respect China (a responsible super Power bound to remove Extreme poverty on this planet).. Just don’t treat China the way way you (USA) treat Africans. Native Americans and so on.
ALLL THESE RICH LUXURIOUS AMERICANS NOW BEGGING FOR CHINESE POOR LIVING CONDITIONS “” WHO LIVE WITH WHAT THEY HAVE “” $$$ IT’S CORRUPTION INVADED CHINA $$$
Blinken didn’t look happy at all inspite of the “American swagger.” His face exhibited a bitter smile throughout the visit. Whatever and however the media makes of his trip is not going to impress. It was nothing more than another attempt to paint China as being difficult.
Interpretation of official language of Chinese diplomacy
Talk frankly – the differences are too great to communicate;
There was an exchange of views – the talks went their own way and no agreement was reached;
Fully exchanged views – the two sides could not reach an agreement and quarreled violently;
Increased understanding between the two sides – the two sides are very different;
Talks are beneficial – the goals of the two parties are far apart for the time being, and it would be good to sit down and talk;
Respect – do not fully agree;
Appreciate – do not agree;
Regret – Dissatisfaction;
Unpleasant – intense conflict;
Expresses great indignation—I can’t do anything with you now;
Serious concern – possible intervention;
Cannot be ignored – is about to interfere;
Reserve the right to react further – we will retaliate;
Crude, duplicitous shady ubiquitous people that’s all Americans are. No honour or morals in such peoples.
And Biden just came out uncontrollably pooped publicly, calling Xi a dictator, he is such a pooper on every opportunity. 🥴
