　　[Global Web Report] At 10 am local time on May 26, US Secretary of State Blinken delivered a speech on China policy at George Washington University.

The US media just reported that Blinken said in his speech that the United States is determined to avoid a "new cold war" with China.

　　The speech was originally scheduled for May 5, but had to be postponed because of Blinken's Covid-19 infection.

Bloomberg previously reported that the speech, which was supposed to pave the way for Biden’s trip to Asia, is now in line after Biden’s visit to South Korea and Japan.

Regarding the speech, AFP quoted Blinken's aides as saying on the 24th that it will be the most comprehensive statement of the US government's policy on China, a rising Asian power, so far.
