the u.s. and china took a bit of a hit after beijing issued a diplomatic reprimand of u.s. president joe biden comparing chinese president xi jinping to a dictator at a political fundraiser last week. on sunday, cnn's dana bash spoke to the v8 about the controversy. blinken has recently returned from a trip to beijing. >> it's very clear that when it comes to china, we are going to do and say things that they don't like. they are going to do and say things that we don't like. if you look at what comes out of the chinese foreign ministry every day about the united states, you'd hear plenty of that. but the purpose of the trip at the president's instruction was to try to bring a little bit more stability to the relationship, to demonstrate that we're committed to managing it responsibly, which really is an obligation for us and an expectation that countries around the world have, and to be able to deal very directly with our differences.
