Secretary of State Antony Blinken will deliver a long-promised speech Thursday setting out US policy toward China at a time when Washington is sparring with Beijing over everything from trade and human rights to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.

The speech, intended to outline a broad strategy toward the world’s second-largest economy, comes after months of delays and internal deliberations.
