Biden administration State Department officials held private talks with Beijing counterparts about the Chinese spy balloon that intercepted U.S. airspace in 2023, and discussed the implications the balloon’s publicity would have on the relationship between the U.S. and China, according to Trump administration officials.
U.S. officials identified the spy balloon infiltrating U.S. airspace on Jan. 28, 2023, and an Air Force fighter jet shot down the Chinese spy balloon off the coast of South Carolina Feb. 4, 2023, two days after the Pentagon issued a statement on the matter.
Biden officials held discussions with Beijing Feb. 1, 2023, about the balloon, and discussed the impact disclosing the balloon to the public could have on the relationship with China, internal State Department documents show, two Trump administration officials told Fox News Digital.
An internal State Department readout of the talks between Blinken and a top Chinese diplomat said Blinken stated that if the presence of the balloon were revealed publicly, it could have “profound implications for our relationship” with China, particularly amid efforts to stabilize the bilateral relationship with Beijing, two Trump administration officials familiar with the documents told Fox News Digital.

This is what happens when you fraudulently install a corrupt piece of filth into the Presidency who sent his crackhead son over to China to collect bribes so that he would be completely compromised and then get together with his comrades in the mainstream media to cover it up.

You're right, and that was a bullshiz travesty. Still, the snippet of article honestly sounds like how that situation would go.

Biden probably got paid by the Chinese to allow the flight. Once it was public, he had to discuss with his bosses, the Chinese in order to get the story straight.

Blinken also was behind the 52 or whatever intelligence agents who said the laptop was Russian disinformation.

Right after it was identified, one call should have been made.
Hey, what’s up? We shot your ballon out of the sky. Don’t send another one. See ya. Be good.

And yet 45% of this country continues to defend this shite show of an administration. Selling our country out daily and lying to our face every day. Treason for sure.

Diplomacy for who? America or themselves?

When someone sends aircraft over the borders to spy on us, the only diplomacy should be shooting it out of the sky and a show of force
China was testing where the line was drawn, Biden failed the test miserably. Full week to take action on our sovereignty being violated

Yeah I mean there’s all sorts of communications that take place without public knowledge. This seems like much ado about nothing

The Biden administration was possibly the most corrupt administration since President Grant.
That is all.
That is all.

Look. Everyone with a half a brain knows Biden and many in his administration were taking bribes from the CCP.
Remember when we would talk about some of their outrageous decisions and ask if they were intentionally hurting American interests???
Yes. It was all intentional.
