Financial Times, citing four people familiar with the negotiations: China is refusing to accept US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken for fear that the Biden administration could release the FBI report along with physical evidence from the balloon, and that its findings could be made public during Blinken’s trip to China.

Translation: Blinken wanted to go to China but was ignored, so again he used the balloon incident as an excuse to save face.

I suspect China is demanding the US to admit publicly that the "spy balloon" was really just a weather balloon before allowing Blinken to visit.

The people in the online spaces where Airman First Class Jack Teixeira spent his time and allegedly leaked highly classified documents had many things in common. In obscure game forums and private online chat rooms, his friends posted violent slurs against Black, gay and trans people, Jews, Ukrainians and pretty much everyone else.

Everyone, that is, except Russians.

Members of that small community, hosted on the social-media app Discord, admired President Vladimir Putin’s regime and its war on Ukraine.

The member of the Discord group who distributed the documents to a wider audience was a California teenager named Lucca Swinson. Mr. Swinson appears to have nursed an interest in the continuing war in Ukraine and the activities of Russian troops. On Feb. 3, a post on a Twitter account associated with Mr. Swinson, which has now been deleted, requested to buy combat patches of Wagner.

Last month, another post added that he only likes Russia more than Ukraine because of its superior music. His SoundCloud account, viewed by the Journal, includes songs of the Russian proxy militia in the Donbas.

The original Discord channel inside Thug Shaker Central where Airman Teixeira allegedly leaked hundreds of classified documents was called “Bears vs Pigs,” a name that echoes Russian memes that depict Ukrainians as hapless pigs mauled by the mighty Russian bear.

The affinity for Mr. Putin, displayed by members of Airman Teixeira’s community, echoes the sympathies for Russia sometimes found in the populist strain of American conservatism, where Mr. Teixeira is now being viewed with sympathy.

Almost immediately after Thursday’s arrest, Airman Teixeira was treated as a hero by several prominent members of the populist wing of American conservatism, where many have vocally supported Mr. Putin and criticized the Biden administration’s multibillion-dollar assistance to Ukraine.

Apparently Blinken asked CPV secretary general Nguyen to pass on a message from him to CPC.
Perhaps he think if he visit Vietnam four more times and get them to pass on four more messages he can collect five yellow stars and summon China, dragon ball style.

Vietnamese hate the Chinese more than anything. They view Chinese as subhuman at best, very fond of Nanjing massacre and there is daily pray of 3 Gorges Damn collapse. Don't think Vietnamese gov is pro-china, no one is. They are just being rational but they still exert anti-china propaganda via their media. Look at their newspaper, they are even more anti china than western media.

The cold treatment is completely expected after CPV recently destroyed its pro-America faction.

It's funny how reddit is completely oblivious to what happened and is still singing the "vietnam hates china/vietnam could be a great partner/we should use vietnam to replace china for cheap labour" bullshit

Hating China gives Vietnamese their identity. Otherwise there would be nothing separating them from Southern Chinese. Vietnam was China for like a thousand years.

They hate China for the Sino-Vietnam War of 1979-90 or this hatred roots back a millenia?
