The Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs went on to say that maintaining contact and communication at all levels is an important consensus of the meeting between the heads of state of China and the United States in Bali.

With regard to Blinken's visit to China, in fact, neither China nor the US has announced any visit. The release of relevant information by the US side is a matter for the US side, and we respect that.

Blinken said at a news conference during his visit to South Korea earlier today that he had reflected with Wang Yi, director of the Office of the Central Foreign Affairs Commission, that it would be irresponsible to break out the controversy on the eve of his upcoming visit to China, and that he would wait until Only go when the time is right.

The Chinese Foreign Ministry stated that neither China nor the United States has announced any visits, and the release of relevant information by the United States is the United States' own business, and we respect it.
