I heard the meeting between Xi and Kissinger was to discuss ways to mitigate the fallout of a pending war.

Technically it was Biden who tanked whatever Blinken managed to accomplish during his visit when he made the statement calling Xi a dictator at a private event and then made sure the transcript was published on the official WH site. It's pretty clear that Biden has no interest in having any sort of compromise with China. I get the impression that there are people in US admin who are getting worried and hence why we see people like Yellen and Kissinger rushing to China to try to smoothing things over. However, I just don't see how China can possibly take any of that seriously at this point. US made their goals pretty clear and all of the tangible actions US has been taking clearly show that US is pushing for a conflict.

My impression is that China realizes what's happening and they're trying to push this conflict as far into the future as they can because the time is ultimately on their side.
