Secretary of State Antony Blinken will confront China’s top diplomat over the regime’s human rights abuses during meetings that coincide with Gov. Gavin Newsom’s climate-themed trip to China.

Newsom, who joked “I wish I was president of the United States” after stopping Friday in Israel en route to Hong Kong, complimented the authorities for their climate policies.
