U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken will travel to China when "conditions are right," with Washington confident of maintaining communication with Beijing despite his cancellation of a weekend trip, a U.S. official said Friday.

The official, speaking on condition of anonymity, said that a row over an alleged Chinese spy balloon "would have significantly narrowed the agenda" for Blinken had he gone ahead.
