In a series of high-level meetings, U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken and China's top foreign policy official, Wang Yi, engaged in discussions aimed at addressing the growing tensions between the United States and China. The talks, which took place on the sidelines of a regional summit in Laos, covered a range of contentious issues including Taiwan, China's support for Russia amid the Ukraine conflict, and Beijing's actions in the South China Sea. Blinken expressed concerns over China's 'provocative' military drills around Taiwan and its 'unlawful actions' in the South China Sea, emphasizing the importance of adherence to international law. Despite the deepening rivalry and regional tensions, both sides agreed to keep communication lines open and make progress on military-to-military ties, although no substantive progress was reported on key topics. The meetings underscore the complex relationship between the two global powers as they navigate their differences on the international stage.
