Blinken’s Xi Jinping meeting fails to answer’s China’s questions

U.S. Secretary of State, Antony Blinken, seeks to keep communication open between the two world powers

U.S. Secretary of State, Antony Blinken, has just concluded a high-stakes visit to China where he met with the country’s President, Xi Jinping.

The meeting took place against a backdrop of heightened tensions between the world’s two largest economies over concerns of spying, national security and military escalations over the state of Taiwan.

However, the two parties left the meeting agreeing that the world depends on a generally stable U.S.-China relationship.

Xi said that the two countries must get along to secure the future and destiny of humanity.

CNBC’s Paulina Likos said it was a positive step for the two countries.

“It shows both countries are showing their commitment to resolve their disagreements, both are looking for ways to cooperate with one another,” she said.

“This visit also shows a peaceful meeting between two global powers when there is so much tension geo-politically.”

The trip was originally meant to take place in January this year but was postponed due to concerns over the Chinese spy balloon that was shot down over the U.S. in the weeks prior.

Blinken now becomes the highest-level American official to visit China in five years.

The Biden official spoke directly to the issue of Taiwan during the trip, which has been an issue central to the rising military tensions between the two powers and in the Asia Pacific region more broadly.

“On Taiwan, I reiterated the long-standing China policy, that policy has not changed,” Blinken said during the visit.

“[The U.S. does] not support Taiwan independence, we remain opposed to any unilateral changes to the status quo by either side. We continue to expect the peaceful resolution of cross-strait differences.”

The U.S. hopes the Blinken trip will open the door to a meeting in November between President Joe Biden and Xi Jinping.

In Short:
– Trump gives Hamas three to four days to accept a U.S.-backed Gaza peace plan, warning of consequences.
– Hamas calls the plan biased and insists on a complete Israeli withdrawal before considering any agreement.
U.S. President Donald Trump has given Hamas three to four days to accept a U.S.-backed peace plan for Gaza, warning of severe consequences if they reject it.The plan, shared by mediators Qatar and Egypt, emerged after Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu endorsed it during a visit to the White House. Hamas, which was not part of the talks, is expected to review the proposal that calls for disarmament, a previously rejected demand.

Trump stated that support for the plan came from both Israeli and Arab leaders, and he emphasised the need for Hamas to respond promptly. The proposal includes a ceasefire, hostage exchanges, an Israeli withdrawal from Gaza, and disarmament of Hamas, along with a transitional government.

A Hamas source described the plan as biased towards Israel and containing unacceptable conditions.

The group maintains that a complete Israeli withdrawal is a prerequisite for their agreement to any deal, while they are unwilling to disarm.

Pressure Mounts

Hamas faces significant pressure as foreign ministers from Saudi Arabia, Jordan, the UAE, Qatar, and Egypt have supported the initiative. Turkey’s intelligence head is also set to join discussions in Doha, marking a new level of mediation.

Despite expressing initial support, Netanyahu is cautious about the plan’s implications for Palestinian statehood and faces pressure from his coalition. Public sentiment in Gaza reflects a desire for peace, albeit with scepticism about the sincerity of both Trump and Netanyahu’s commitments.
