After claiming its spy balloon was a harmless weather balloon and angrily condemning the Biden administration for shooting the balloon down (after it crossed the continental U.S.), the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) is now not only demanding that the U.S. take all the blame for the incident but also that the U.S. abandon its unofficial ally Taiwan. As usual, the genocidal CCP is uninhibited by any interest in truth or justice.
CCP state propaganda outlet Xinhua News published a statement from a Chinese Foreign Ministry (FM) spokesman on Feb. 19. The spokesman said that China acceded to a U.S. request and that Wang Yi, director of the Office of the Foreign Affairs Commission of the Communist Party of China Central Committee, unofficially met with U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken “on the margins of the Munich Security Conference.” That wording itself practically drips with disdain.
And just as during the spy balloon debacle, Wang issued sort of ultimatum, steadily insisting that the CCP — which has planted spies in every sector of U.S. society and government and has police stations in New York and Los Angeles — is thoroughly righteous and free from blame.
Wang accused the U.S. of “an abuse of the use of force and violation of customary international practice and the International Civil Aviation Covenant” by shooting down the spy balloon, which the CCP has claimed was a weather balloon accidentally driven off course. Wang accused America of being the “number one country in terms of surveillance,” saying the U.S. “illegally” flew balloons over China a number of times.
What the U.S. needs to do is to demonstrate sincerity, and face up to and resolve the damage that its abuse of force has done to China-U.S. relations.

Would Trump ever apologize? Will Biden?
CHINA CAN POUND SAND IMO.
Biden will drop to his knees and .........
Well you fill in the blank because only crude things come to mind.
Who is running the pool.
I want odds on Biden capitulating and apologizing.
I think he will apologize on Friday 9 PM Eastern time.
Screw the CCP.
Taiwan is NOT an ally. It’s a trading partner.
RE: Taiwan is NOT an ally. It’s a trading partner.
Therefore, what follows? We should listen to China and abandon Taiwan, right?
Sounds like Blinken had a successful exchange of views with Wang.
That diaper-wearing POS had *better not* apologize. 🤬
Fock China doublehard.
Nobody’s gonna apologize or escalate this particular matter.
But the fact is Biden is making us look incredibly weak. There is only one plausible explanation for why we didn’t shoot down that balloon over Alaska or anytime before it left the Atlantic coast - that we were capturing the data they were relaying and breaking their codes - but nobody has made that assertion. In any case there is ample precedent going back to the U-2 spy craft Russia shot down in 1960. Eisenhower Admin said it was a “weather research craft” at the time, too. Whether Biden is compromised, or if it is just that the administration is incompetent, China will milk it. Even if we did crack their codes and capture their data the fact that it is non-public still allows China to taunt over the entire incident.
The real problem is Ukraine. Biden, and the Democrats at large (with some uniparty help) boxed us into a corner. We are waging a proxy war - not the first time - there is no reason why China can’t take the other side. Indeed they have plenty of reasons to seriously consider it because Biden has put us in a position we can’t easily get out of. Won’t cost China anything more than it costs us - just some money and munitions - but they drag us into deeper and longer conflict and, potentially, forcing us to quit just like they did in Vietnam. Hopefully we won’t be committing serious personnel deployment but that started out with ‘military advisors’ too. China has little to lose probing various responses to various scenarios.
Maybe the Chinamen will start playing pin the tail on the donkey with Let’s Go Brandon’s FJB gang.

I heard retired General Petraus being interviewed at WABC last week. He said that the signals from the Chinese spy balloon were being jammed as it flew over US airspace.
The ChiComs can go to hell.
I fully expect that if Biden kowtow to the Chinese the neocon Zeepers will try to defend it. They love them some Pedo Biden and the ChiComs.
Did China give arms to Russia? Yesterday a plane was on the way. Haven’t heard anything today.
Xi Pooh can eat shit and die.
The CCP can rot in hell.
Those in the USA who are de-facto Chinese operative traitors should be tried and executed.
That would wipe out most of Congress.
Thanks to the dirtbag President Carter who will meet Satan soon. The Ukraine isn't an ally either and look where that ended up. I fully expect the neocons to attempt to stab Taiwan in the back because they take their orders from China.
“That would wipe out most of Congress.”
So? Is that a bad thing?
