Congratulations to this immensely talented group of fellows who will add significantly through this project to our understanding of the future of US-China relations.

Per protocol, Spokesperson发言人办公室 Director for N. American and Oceanian Affairs Yang Tao was at the airport to see Secretary Antony Blinken off as he wrapped up his China tour (left pic). Yang was also there receiving Blinken when he arrived in Beijing. Any assertion to the contrary is false.

US voters overwhelmingly want America’s approach toward China to be smart, strong, principled, and diplomatic. There is no substitute for face-to-face diplomacy to address concerns w/ PRC behavior, demarcate boundaries, and coordinate on shared challenges. state.gov/secretary-blin…

385 - 34 offers a solid insight into the strength of bipartisan support for Taiwan.

Secretary Blinken will visit Shanghai, Beijing April 24-26. Good to see two major powers communicating directly with each other to clarify each other's objectives and intentions on range of issues at a moment of global volatility.

My Brookings colleague Vanda Felbab-Brown has made an important contribution to understanding US-PRC efforts on counternarcotics - what progress has been made, where Beijing's actions have been lacking, and specific next steps the US should push for.
