He did not respond when asked whether Washington would impose sanctions over China's support for Russia, which U.S. officials warn risks hurting the broader bilateral relationship, even as ties stabilize. President Joe Biden, who met Xi Jinping in November in San Francisco, says Washington does not support Taiwan's independence, but has upset Beijing by appearing to suggest it would defend the island if it were attacked.
"This is a fundamental issue that must be addressed, just like the first button of a shirt that must be put right, in order for the China-U.S. relationship to truly stabilize, improve and move forward," Xi said.Curbing China's supply of the chemicals used to make fentanyl, a killer drug having a devastating effect among American youth, has been a top U.S. priority.
Blinken also said the countries also agreed to hold their first talks on artificial intelligence in coming weeks.To lighten the mood after days of serious engagement, Blinken popped into a Beijing record store and bought an album by Chinese rocker Dou Wei and Taylor Swift's"Midnights."
