Blinken's visit seeks to stabilize relations

Experts expect little breakthrough but see Washington's desire for dialogue

US Secretary of State Antony Blinken's visit to China is not anticipated to yield breakthroughs in bilateral relations, given Washington's unchanged strategy toward Beijing. However, experts note that such visits will play a role in maintaining stability between China and the United States.

"The visit to China can be seen as a follow-up on the consensus reached during the November summit in San Francisco, signaling the US' desire for regular high-level visits to maintain the stability of bilateral ties," said Yang Nan, associate research fellow at the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences' Institute of American Studies.

"While these visits may not lead to substantial outcomes, establishing mutual understanding through such interactions can help prevent future misjudgments, which is a key objective."
