U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken says he sees increasingly “adversarial” aspects of the United States relationship with the Chinese regime.

The change is largely because the Chinese regime has become “much more assertive, much more aggressive, whether it’s in the region or beyond, by a variety of means,” Blinken said during a Jan. 24 online event.
