Antony Blinken recently made the first visit to China by a U.S. secretary of state in five years. In this edition of TaiwanTalks, we discuss the significance of Blinken's visit and ask if the gap between the U.S. and China is widening in terms of ideology and economy, hinting at a potential new Cold War, or if diplomacy will be able to ease tensions?
