Since the start of the Russia-Ukraine war, the United States has openly asked China to take sides in support of Ukraine on the Russia-Ukraine issue, and China has refused, which has led to tensions between China and the United States.
However, because of the economic and trade relations between China and the United States, the United States will still send people to visit China from time to time, from Commerce Secretary Raimondo to Treasury Secretary Yellen, as well as US Secretary of State Antony Blinken, who has recently confirmed a visit to China.
In fact, Blinken was already here in June last year, so what is the purpose of his visit to China again this year?
And what is China's attitude towards this? Perhaps there is a slight change in the wording of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs this year, which may set the tone for Blinken's visit to China.
The West accuses China of aiding Russia
The Russian-Ukrainian war is in full swing, but from the current point of view, Ukraine does not occupy much of an advantage, which can make Western countries extremely anxious.
Recently, the U.S. House of Representatives finally passed a very difficult bill to aid Ukraine, and the United States will spend $61 billion to support Ukraine against Russia.
This economic aid to Ukraine can help Ukraine buy a large number of advanced weapons, but it is bad news for Russia.
In this regard, Russian presidential press secretary Dmitry Peskov said angrily that the United States' assistance to Ukraine will lead Ukraine to destruction.
Despite Russia's anger, the United States has gone its own way and has turned its attention to China.

The United States and other Western countries have provided a lot of aid to Ukraine before, but Ukraine still loses a lot, which makes the United States wonder early on whether China has provided military assistance to Russia.
In particular, China is accused of sending supplies to Russia that could be used for military purposes, including microelectronics, machine tools, and military-related satellite imagery.
U.S. State Department spokesman Miller even claimed that the supplies were used in Russia's military industry, especially in the production of weapons used on the battlefield in Ukraine.
Secretary of State Blinken, who is about to visit China, also hyped "China to help Russia rebuild its military industry" at the G7 summit.
In response to their rumors, China quickly stated that cooperation between China and Russia has always been a normal economic and trade activity between countries, and China has not provided military assistance to Russia.

In fact, countries around the world are clear about China's position on the Russian-Ukrainian war, including Ukraine.
China has been traveling between Russia and Ukraine, trying to broker peace talks between the two countries and then an armistice.
However, Western countries, led by the United States, continued to fan the flames, causing the war to continue to expand.
The aim of Western countries is to drag Russia down with war.
However, Russia did not drag down, but the United States could not hold on, so the White House sent people to visit China one after another, saying that it would continue to do business with China, and on the other hand, it continued to politically force China to express its position on various issues.
The purpose of Blinken's visit to China at this time is the same.
Blinken will visit China
On April 22, Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi invited U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken to visit China from April 24 to 26.
This is not Blinken's first visit to China, which he visited last year.
However, during Blinken's visit last year, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Wang Wenbin said that it was "agreed upon by both China and the United States."
This time, Minister Wang Yi said the language "China invites Blinken", although both expressions were welcome, but this time the Chinese side invited this language and wording, which shows that Blinken is more important.
Because China generally uses normal diplomatic expressions to U.S. officials, Blinken is an exception among U.S. officials, which shows China's sincerity in easing the conflict between the two countries.
Moreover, this statement by the Chinese side also shows that although Sino-US relations are now tense, in the face of the accusations and false accusations made by the United States against China, China also has a clear conscience and will greet Blinken with greater goodwill, setting a friendly tone for Blinken's visit to China.

It's just that China has expressed friendly thoughts, is Blinken's visit attitude the same?
In this regard, relevant sources in the United States revealed that Blinken will discuss a series of bilateral, regional and global issues with China, including the Middle East crisis, the Russia-Ukraine war, cross-strait relations and the South China Sea issue.
"Blinken's trip has three goals, including making progress on key issues, communicating concerns about bilateral, regional, and global issues, and "managing competition responsibly" to avoid miscalculations or conflicts. ”
Moreover, before Blinken arrived in China, the United States created a momentum for him, warning Chinese companies to withdraw from Russia, otherwise they would sanction Chinese companies.
These statements and actions of the United States show that Blinken's visit is aimed at "defending the national interests of the United States," meddling in the affairs of other countries, and warning China not to aid Russia.
Whether it is the Taiwan Strait or the South China Sea issue, it is China's own business, but the United States still wants to meddle in China's affairs, which is simply too shameless.
Moreover, the Middle East issue and the Russia-Ukraine war were not provoked by China, and the United States hyped up China's assistance to Russia and decided to sanction Chinese companies, while at the same time asking China to help solve the Russia-Ukraine issue and the Middle East issue, isn't it self-contradictory and very domineering and unreasonable?
epilogue
China has made it clear that it is impossible to provide military assistance to Russia, and hopes that the United States and other Western countries will stop spreading rumors about China.
China welcomes Blinken's arrival and hopes that Blinken will not be ignorant and continue to put pressure on China on the issues of Russia and Ukraine, the Middle East, the Taiwan Strait and the South China Sea.
China does not cause trouble, but it is not afraid of it.
