Biden defends handling of Chinese balloon, says it has not affected relations with China
When asked if the spy balloon weakened the relationship between the two countries, Biden told reporters that the United States was open with China about shooting the balloon down when it was over the Atlantic Ocean."No. We’ve made it clear to China what we're going to do. … We did the right thing," Biden said."There‘s not a question of weakening or strengthening — it’s just the reality.
Pentagon officials chose not to shoot down the balloon until it was over water, saying it was too dangerous to shoot it down over land and risk the danger of falling debris. Other balloons have been spotted over other countries, including those in Latin America. Officials also claimed there were other Chinese balloons that had invaded U.S. airspace. Those invasions included some under former President Donald Trump. His administration has denied knowledge of the incidents.
