Blinken Rebukes China's Top Diplomat Wang Over Balloon

Just go through with us what happened on that blink and wangi meeting and what that means for the future of US China relations. Well it certainly shows that even when the US and China sit down to talk now which yes it is or has been a very fraught moment over these past few weeks that these talks don't necessarily relieve the tensions that have built up there. Certainly not in the short term. And as you say the tone from Anthony Blinken who then went on a number of US TV shows to give interviews shortly afterwards sort of interpreting what he had told Wangi. The tone was very forceful and in its own way uncompromising. You talked about Biden saying no apology. Well what Blinken said then was when asked was that China or Wangi did not apologize for the overflight of what the US is called this spy balloon.

So that kind of gives you an idea of maybe not be neither side backing down but certainly the level of rhetoric that we're seeing here.
