CHINA-US:NORTH KOREAN N-TEST
On January 15, 2016, the US State Department officially announced US Secretary of State John Kerry’s plans to visit China on January 27, 2016. This was just one day after the announcement that US Deputy Secretary of State Tony Blinken would be visiting China from Jan. 20 to Jan. 21 to discuss the North Korean nuclear issue with Chinese Vice Minister of Foreign Affairs Zhang Yesui. (Comment: It is unusual for the US Secretary of State and Deputy Secretary of State to visit a particular country just one week apart.)
