(Washington, D.C.) — Secretary of State Antony Blinken is heading to Beijing this weekend. White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre says Blinken has clear objectives for the rare high-level meeting between the U.S. and China. The two nations are going through a period of heightened tension. Blinken was set to meet with Chinese leaders back in February, but his trip was delayed after the U.S. shot down, what’s believed to have been a Chinese spy balloon surveilling the U.S.
