Blinken spars with China on Russia support, industrial overcapacity
HONG KONG/TOKYO -- U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken on Friday said he pressed China over its support for Russia's military-industrial base, as he held "candid" talks with Chinese President Xi Jinping and Foreign Minister Wang Yi in Beijing. The Chinese side, for its part, complained that the U.S. was "hyping up" concerns about its industrial capacity and "constantly" challenging its core interests.
