According to the recent official announcement of the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs, we have learned that the US Secretary of State will be visiting China. This visit is significantly different from previous visits. In order to convey more information about the visit to the public, the North America and Oceania Department of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs held a public briefing.

It sheds light on the background, purpose, and possible implications of the U.S. Secretary of State's visit to China. By listening carefully to the content of the briefing, we can find that this visit is not only a simple diplomatic activity, but also an important node in the development of relations between the two countries. Overall, the US Secretary of State's visit to China was undoubtedly a high-profile diplomatic event.
Arrival in Shanghai
On the 24th, Blinken and his entourage arrived in Shanghai and stayed at the Peace Hotel, and that night, under the leadership of US Ambassador to China Burns, Blinken went to Nanxiang Mantou Restaurant to eat an authentic meal of xiaolongbao. After finishing the meal, Blinken and his entourage wandered around Shanghai's Yu Garden, enjoying the beautiful night view of the Huangpu River. Blinken was full of praise for Shanghai, saying that the city was full of charm and left a deep impression on him.
Subsequently, Blinken recorded a video on the banks of the Huangpu River and posted it on Musk's social software, in which he avoided the important and did not talk about the focus of the visit to China on Sino-Russian relations, Sino-Iranian relations and the Palestinian-Israeli conflict, but said that he would work hard to stop fentanyl, a synthetic opioid, from flowing into the United States and strive to cooperate with China. Blinken's move is clearly aimed at currying favor with voters, as restricting drug abuse is clearly one of the few achievements in Biden's hands.
Shen Yi commented
In an interview with Phoenix Satellite TV, Professor Shen Yi gave an in-depth interpretation of Blinken's mission to China. He believes that Blinken's visit to China has three major tasks: First, Blinken needs to show the outside world that the United States attaches importance to China, and at the same time show the determination and willingness of the United States in handling Sino-US relations. Through his visit to China, Blinken can emphasize that the United States attaches great importance to China and show that the United States is willing to engage in dialogue and consultation with China to seek solutions to the problems and differences between China and the United States.
Second, Blinken needs to visit China to reassure China and ease tensions between the two countries. During the visit, Blinken can express to the Chinese side the goodwill and sincerity of the United States, express his willingness to establish a more stable relationship with China, and resolve differences and problems between the two sides through dialogue and consultation.
Finally, Blinken's visit to China needs to send a message that the United States is willing to work with China to address the challenges and issues facing the world. In the context of globalization, countries are becoming more and more interdependent. If the United States can build a good cooperative relationship with China, then the two countries can jointly address many global issues, such as climate change and non-traditional security. Therefore, Blinken's visit to China is also to show that the United States is willing to work with China to jointly promote global peace and development. I have to say that Professor Shen Yi has a thorough analysis of the purpose of Blinken's visit to China.
Netizen comments
Regarding Blinken's visit to China again, netizens are also talking. A netizen said that only if the United States does not help the Taiwan independence forces can the two countries truly cooperate, otherwise it will be useless to visit China many times.
Some netizens said that when visiting China again in the short term, the United States has never played its cards according to the routine.
Some netizens said that saying that it was an interview was actually pressure, and saying that it was pressure was actually a request.
A netizen commented that Blinken is here to quarrel again, or to blackmail, and there will be no good things anyway.
A netizen said that people who are inconsistent in their words and deeds can have integrity?
Some netizens commented that China should make it clear to the US side that it should no longer allow warships to operate near the Taiwan Strait, so as not to cause a misfire.
As permanent members of the UN Security Council, China and the United States have a special responsibility for maintaining international peace and security. China has been actively playing its role as a constructive and responsible major country, and on hotspot issues such as the Middle East, Ukraine and the Korean Peninsula, it should always adhere to bridging differences through dialogue and resolving disputes through consultation, thus contributing to the maintenance of world peace and stability. In addressing global challenges, the two sides should abandon the Cold War mentality, adhere to the concept of win-win cooperation, promote democracy in international relations, and chart the course for global development.
