Secretary of State Antony Blinken met with Chinese President Xi Jinping in Beijing on Friday as he wrapped up a three-day visit to China dominated by contentious issues and warnings from his hosts of another âdownward spiralâ in relations. The two met Friday afternoon local time at the Great Hall of the People, an ornate and cavernous building next to Tiananmen Square. Blinken told Xi that President Joe Biden had sent him to China to âseek to deepen areas of cooperation as well as to responsibly manage the differences that we have.â Xi noted that this year is the 45th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between the United States and China, and said the two countries âshould be partners rather than adversaries.â

of the country's most polarizing candidates.
Democrats are likely to push hard for Attorney General Josh Stein, painting Robinson as an extremist on certain issues along the way. .
