President Biden on Saturday said that the spy balloon incident was 'more embarrassing than it was intentional' for the Chinese, as his top diplomat heads to Beijing.
on Saturday claimed that a Chinese spy balloon that drifted across the U.S. and caused a major international incident was"more embarrassing than it was intentional" by the communist regime.
The president also said he hopes to talk to China's President Xi Jinping about how the U.S. and Beijing can"get along."can ease tensions with China as part of his trip to the country. Biden, in response, raised the issue of the balloon, which flew over the U.S. in February until it was shot down off the coast of South Carolina.
"China has some legitimate difficulties unrelated to the United States, and I think one of the things that balloon caused was not so much that it got shot down, but I don't think the leadership knew where it was, knew what it was in it and what was going on," he said."I think it was more embarrassing than it was intentional," he said., who said it should have been shot down much earlier, and caused Blinken to postpone a planned trip to China.
An NBC News report in April said that the spy balloon was able to gather intelligence from several sensitive American military sites. The Pentagon later said it could not confirm that there was any real-time transmission of data. The Chinese have said that the balloon's movements were accidental.
