Blinken on China Gaining Economic Ground from Yellen Trip: We'll Keep Talking, Looking for Areas of Cooperation

During an interview aired on Tuesday's broadcast of MSNBC's "Andrea Mitchell Reports," Secretary of State Antony Blinken responded to a question on China gaining economic ground by having Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen visit while failing to resume military-to-military communications that the United States wants resumed by stating that trying to get the military communications channels back open is "something we'll continue to look for." And that Yellen's trip gave us the ability "to talk extensively about the places where we have real and deep differences, to also look at areas where we might cooperate because it's in our mutual interest to do so. That's going to continue."
