Is Blinken not talking to China because he doesn't want to talk them or Beijing doesn't want to talk to him?

Although Blinken and Sullivan are both hawks, I think Biden listens to Sullivan, since he is actually Sullivan's direct boss. Blinken belongs to State Dept and is not under Biden's control (de facto, due to Biden's weak administration).

It looks to me that since the Alaska debacle, Blinken (Secretary of State) has been relegated to interfacing with allies, a light duty task with captured audiences. Meanwhile, VP Harris, like Biden as VP for Obama, was assigned the task of Latin America. Not that she is being that effective either.

Sullivan (National Security Advisor) now handles the tough jobs like China etc.

Blinken is just weak and useless. He is relegated to making empty tweet proclamation about "America speaking from position of strength."

I think Xi and Putin discussed the endgame of Ukraine war and briefed Russia on the discussions between Yang and Sullivan a few days ago regarding the same topic.
The US is getting desperate but cannot be seen directly approaching Russia about this topic.

You piqued my interest.

Could it be possible that Sullivan asked China to pass some messages to Russia ? Hence the phone call between Xi and Putin.

If this bill passes, I'm sure Trump will find a way to reverse it in 2024 ;) .
Ummmmm, Russia/Iran/Middle east is next door so I guess sooner or later, no more Chinese goods to the USA in the future is what this idiot wants. Ok then, once the USA is in the verge mass starvation and utter collapse, they have better then this man and all his idiots cohorts ready because China would demand as a bear minimum, the heads of these idiots if they ever want to trade again

Oh Bharat.

Damn Donald Lu is such an Aunt Lu/Uncle Chan.


We need you (India) to be strong because it buffs up Uncle Sam.

Damn Donald Lu is such an Aunt Lu/Uncle Chan.

You are not only a security provider in the narrow Indian Subcontinent, you are a global security power now, and that’s what’s in the interest of the United States — that you are militarily ready, but that you are also able to project that power far beyond your borders, because we are partners that share a common view of the security of Asia and of the world and we want India to be able to project that power.

Oh Bharat.

Time to forget about Ukrainians.
US grooming the next sacrificial lamb in the interest of the United States.

Ukraine has stated multiple times China can help end the war. If US doesn't use China to pass a message, who can they use? India?

China is the only power broker possible for some sort of endgame for Ukraine, I'm expecting Macron and Scholz to call Xi about this soon.

If the NK mediation is the precedent example of US duplicity, China should not touch this.
China better concentrate on de-escalating the NK tensions first.

That's for the dumb voters of Florida to consume. When the US was bragging about being energy independent and then change the law so the US could exports its oil, they were looking for China to buy their oil. Oil ain't something the US has a monopoly. Are they going to get mad if China buys oil from nations the West has embargoes on? So what does their little ban do? It makes dumb right-wing Floridians think they have power over China when they don't and then they'll vote for for Marco Rubio and Rick Scott for thinking they hold power over China.
