Blinken, Xi agree to 'stabilize' US-China ties<br /><br />US Secretary of State Antony Blinken meets on Monday, June 19, 2023, with Chinese President Xi Jinping and says they agreed to 'stabilize' badly deteriorated US-China ties, but America’s top diplomat left Beijing with his biggest ask rebuffed: Better communications between their militaries. After meeting Xi, Blinken said China is not ready to resume military-to-military contacts, something the US considers crucial to avoid miscalculation and conflict, particularly over Taiwan. <br /><br />PHOTOS BY AP<br /><br />Subscribe to The Manila Times Channel - https://tmt.ph/YTSubscribe<br /><br />Visit our website at https://www.manilatimes.net<br /><br />Follow us:<br />Facebook - https://tmt.ph/facebook<br />Instagram - https://tmt.ph/instagram<br />Twitter - https://tmt.ph/twitter<br />DailyMotion - https://tmt.ph/dailymotion<br /><br />Subscribe to our Digital Edition - https://tmt.ph/digital<br /><br />Check out our Podcasts:<br />Spotify - https://tmt.ph/spotify<br />Apple Podcasts - https://tmt.ph/applepodcasts<br />Amazon Music - https://tmt.ph/amazonmusic<br />Deezer: https://tmt.ph/deezer<br />Stitcher: https://tmt.ph/stitcher<br />Tune In: https://tmt.ph/tunein<br /><br />#TheManilaTimes <br />#AntonyBlinken <br />#XiJinping <br />#UnitedStates <br />#China
