US and China hold high-level talks to move beyond spy balloon incident.

White House national security adviser Jake Sullivan told senior Chinese foreign policy adviser Wang Yi during talks in Vienna this week that the Biden administration is “looking to move beyond” tensions spurred by the U.S. shooting down a Chinese spy balloon that traversed the continental United States. Both sides recognize that the February incident was ”unfortunate” and are now looking to “reestablish standard, normal channels of communications.” The talks are the latest in a series of small signs that tensions could be easing between the world’s two biggest economies.
