Biden's Balloon Diplomacy with China

President Biden made excuses for China's spy balloon flight, saying that President Xi Jinping never meant to fly a spy balloon over sensitive American military sites earlier this year. The conciliatory comments came as Secretary of State Antony Blinken continued a two-day visit to Beijing, his first diplomatic trip there since he called off a planned trip as the balloon made its uncontested three-day journey across US airspace. US-China relations have grown increasingly tense during Biden’s presidency.
