– CIA Chief Made Secret Visit To China To Salvage Spiraling Relations:
CIA director Bill Burns recently made a secret trip to China in an attempt to rescue deteriorating relations between the two powerful rivals. The clandestine trip was revealed Friday by the Financial Times, which wrote “Five people familiar with the situation said Burns, a former top diplomat who is frequently entrusted with delicate overseas missions, travelled to China for talks with officials.” It happened last month.
Burns was dispatched as President Biden reportedly sees him as among the most “trusted” senior US officials, and it demonstrates the urgency with which Washington is trying to stabilize the relationship with China.
