"China is a responsible country and has always strictly abided by international law. We do not accept any groundless speculation and hype," Wang Yi, director of the Office of the Foreign Affairs Commission of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China said in a phone conversation with US Secretary of State Antony Blinken late Friday.

During the phone conversation, they communicated on how to deal with the incident in a calm and professional manner. Wang said in face of unexpected situations, both sides should maintain focus, communicate in a timely manner, avoid misjudgments, and manage differences.

Prior to Wang and Blinken's talk, State Department spokesman Ned Price said that Blinken has postponed his visit to China due to the balloon incident and Blinken would be prepared to visit Beijing "as soon as conditions allow."

Previous news on Blinken's visit to China on February 5 and 6 all came from the US. China has never confirmed the information.

We shouldn’t blow up what we don’t know will be released.

This argument doesn't make sense to me. If they balloon is loaded up with something harmful, then the Chinese will be releasing it at the opportune time, perhaps a slow steady discharge. I strongly doubt the Chinese would arm the balloon with a dangerous ingredient, without also having the intention to release it.

Just as Public-Private Partnerships intend to corrupt both the Public and the Private sector,

Are you suggesting a China-USA Partnership of friendship would ?????

Understand: It escaped from a Bat Cave and not from the Lab.

The Chinese government is a bunch of bloodthirsty liars. The children of CCP members who are in this country should be sent back to China.

[popdonnelly]

That’s no doubt true. And the Chinese government could probably bring Biden down anytime they wanted to with all they know about Joe and Hunter.

[Georgia Girl 2]

Absolutely correct. If there was any doubt Joe Biden is owned by the CCP its gone now. Right out there for all to see.

Joe Biden and his family are foreign spies

Take a chinook up there and capture the balloon.

Last I saw this thing was at 66,000 ft. You aren't getting a Chinook to 66,000 ft.

[George J. Jetso]

There are corrupt politicians like Joe Biden that already have a partnership with china. There is no intent.
