(Washington Comprehensive) US President Biden said he hopes to talk to the official Chinese official to resolve the tension caused by the US's shot down the suspected Chinese spy balloon.
Biden delivered a national speech on Thursday (February 16) to explain the government's position in detail about the balloon incident that caused uproar.He said: "I expected to talk to Chairman Xi ... We have to check this water."
He did not explain when he would talk to Chinese officials.
A Chinese balloon appeared at the beginning of this month, and Biden ordered the launch missile to shoot down outside the east bank on the 4th.China insisted that it was a civilian meteorological balloon that was mistakenly entered the United States, while the United States said that there was conclusive evidence that it was a spy balloon.American members have accused Biden of responding to the slow response and weak position in China.
Bynden emphasized in his speech nationwide that the United States will be responsible for controlling competition with China. It is "not seeking a new cold war", but it will not apologize to the Chinese balloon.If any flying objects pose a threat to the interests and security of the American people, "I ordered it to shoot it down."
He said that the United States has continued to contact China in the past two weeks with China. The balloon incident also highlights the importance of maintaining the opening of communication channels for foreign officials and military personnel of the two countries.
After being interviewed by the National Broadcasting Corporation (NBC) after Bayeng, he said: "What I don't think to see Chinese officials is to completely tear the relationship with Washington and me."
China: Mei Ying should properly handle the incident to restore the relationship between the two countries to stable
In response to Biden's statement to talk to Chinese officials, Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs spokesman Wang Wenbin said at a regular press conference on Friday that the United States cannot communicate and dialogue while the United States cannot upgrade the balloon incident.He said that the United States should properly handle the matter and restore the relationship between the two countries to stabilize.
The balloon incident caused diplomatic disputes between China and the United States. U.S. Secretary of State Brills, which was originally scheduled to visit Beijing this month, temporarily canceled its schedule.The Beijing side accused Washington with excessive response and said that American balloons also flew over the Chinese territory, and the Bayeng government denied it.
Bynden separated the Chinese balloon and the other three unknown flights discovered later in the country.He said that it is not clear what the three flights are, but after the evaluation of the intelligence personnel, they believe that they have nothing to do with the reconnaissance operations of China or other countries, and may be related to private enterprises or research institutions.These unknown objects were shot down by the U.S. military over the Lake Alaska, Canada, and Lake Hou.
Bynden said that after the Chinese balloon flew over the North American continent, the U.S. military and civil aviation officials increased the sensitivity of radar, so they discovered more objects.He has instructed to formulate stricter rules to distinguish those objects that may constitute safety risks and must take action response from other general objects.
He also said that in order to prevent the enemy from having the opportunity to avoid the US defense reconnaissance, the government will keep confidentiality on how the review results of unknown objects will be handled in the future, so that the relevant Congress will know.
