On the 20th, Daniel Kritenbrink, Assistant Secretary of State for East Asian and Pacific Affairs, stated that Secretary Blinken, who visited China for two days from the 18th to the 19th, accomplished all three goals set by President Biden.

According to Assistant Secretary Kritenbrink, the three goals set by President Biden were: ▲ strengthening high-level communication channels ▲ clearly stating the U.S. position and intentions on areas where there are differing views ▲ exploring areas of cooperation on issues involving intertwined interests between the U.S. and China or shared multinational challenges.

He explained, "Secretary Blinken carried out all of these," emphasizing, "This is the first step." He added, "We will continue to strive to responsibly manage the competition (between the U.S. and China) going forward."

On the 18th, Secretary Blinken held talks with Qin Gang, Chinese State Councilor and Foreign Minister, met Wang Yi, member of the Communist Party Central Political Bureau, on the 19th, and as his final schedule, had a meeting with President Xi Jinping.
