U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken, in the first bilateral meeting with his Chinese counterpart, condemned the Beijing regime’s act of sending a surveillance balloon over U.S. airspace.

“Just met with the PRC’s top diplomat, Wang Yi,“ Blinken wrote on Twitter after their meeting on the sidelines of the Munich Security Conference. ”I condemned the incursion of the PRC surveillance balloon and stressed it must never happen again. I warned China against providing [material] support to Russia. I also emphasized the importance of keeping open lines of communication.”
