Amidst strained ties over an alleged Chinese spy balloon, US Secretary of State Antony Blinken on Saturday met his Chinese counterpart Wang Yi and raised « the unacceptable » violation of American sovereignty and warned that Beijing’s material support to Moscow over Ukrainian war would attract sanctions.
The meeting on Saturday between the two top American and Chinese diplomats took place on the margins of the Munich Security Conference.
« The Secretary directly spoke to the unacceptable violation of US sovereignty and international law by the PRC high-altitude surveillance balloon in US territorial airspace, underscoring that this irresponsible act must never occur again, » State Department Spokesperson Ned Price said.
