“I look forward to these discussions being very clear, very direct about the areas where we have differences and where the United States stands, and I have no doubt you will do the same on behalf of China,” Blinken said.
“There is no substitute in our judgment for face-to-face diplomacy in order to try to move forward,” Blinken added. “But also to make sure we’re as clear as possible about the areas where we have differences at the very least to avoid misunderstandings, to avoid miscalculations.”
