US Secretary of State Antony Blinken arrived in the Chinese city of Shanghai on Wednesday, on his second official visit to China in less than a year.
Blinken's visit comes at the invitation of his Chinese counterpart, Wang Yi.
During his visit, Blinken is scheduled to meet with senior Chinese officials to discuss a range of bilateral, regional and global issues, including the crisis in the Middle East and the war in Ukraine, South China Sea and Taiwan Strait.
