some new possibilities for more high level meetings, if those types of things can be set up, i think both sides will be happy and think that they ve come away with something that it s been successful, but it s because relations are so bad that nobody expects any sort of a breakthrough on any of the key issues. and if they can just agree to keep talking, well, that ll be something. dr yuka kobayashi is a lecturer in china and international politics at the school of oriental and african studies. she says the visit is important. this builds on a couple of developments in the past couple months. i think when the spy incident happened and blinken s visit was cancelled in february, really us china relations hit a real low point. and we also saw earlier this month that this request for discussion with the defence ministers was cancelled. but what tends to really focus, be focused is these negative kind of really tension points.
with the doj and the fbi on the topic of the trump mar-a-lago search? so, i think there are a couple of ways to think about. one is that it is very common for prosecutors and agents to argue during the course of investigation about what exactly to do, how aggressive to go after witnesses, how aggressive to go after evidence. that happens in a lot of cases. there are tension points, flare-ups, they get resolved, and they move forward. i think what is so different about the trump investigation is really two things. obviously, this is a very high profile case, you know that there will be a lot of attention paid to this. you know that there will be a lot of second-guessing, both inside the government and outside the government, and to, i think, as you ve seen and the discussions, as we report them, there is a lot of tension and worry about making the wrong move. for the fbi agents, that often meant worrying about what if we go too fast, too quickly and

aggressive to goow after witnesses, how aggressive to go after evidence. that happens in a lot of cases. there s tension points, flare up, they get resolved and move forward. i think what s so different about the trump investigation is really two things. obviously this is a very high profile case. you know there s going to belot of attention paid to this and a lot of second guessing both inside the government and outside the government. and two, i think as you ve seen in the discussions as we report then, there s a lot of tension and worry about making it the wrong move, and for the fbi agentsfb that often meant worryg about what if we go too fast, too quickly and make the mistake. and for the justice department prosecutors the worry was often we can t sit on this, we can t just wait and hope that the former president will do the right thing. and thosegh two worries and tho two types of concerns really were at odds sometimes.
