China-US relations have seen some progress in the months since Xi met US President Joe Biden last November, the Chinese leader acknowledged, but said "there are still many issues that need to be resolved".
"There is still room for further efforts," he told Blinken.
"Mr Secretary of State, this visit was set up during my phone call with President Biden a few weeks ago, and I hope you will make it a worthwhile trip," he said.
Xi and Biden last met in the San Francisco Bay Area in November on the sidelines of the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation conference. It was their second face-to-face meeting during the Biden presidency.
Blinken arrived in China on
Wednesday, just hours after US President Joe Biden signed into law a bill that gives TikTok's Chinese owner ByteDance nine months to sell its stake in the app or be banned in the US.
Some 170 million Americans use TikTok every month, making the US its largest market.
The legislation, which received widespread bipartisan support in the US, had been introduced because of concerns TikTok might share user data with the Chinese government. Washington is also concerned that Beijing could use the app to fuel misinformation.
TikTok has repeatedly denied claims that the Chinese government has control over ByteDance.
Last month, China's foreign ministry criticised the law as "clearly a bullying act", and said the move would "inevitably come back to bite the United States".
