President Joe Biden said Monday the US “did the right thing” when it shot down a suspected Chinese spy balloon on Saturday and maintained that he always wanted to bring it down “as soon as it was appropriate.” Speaking to reporters on the South Lawn of the White House after returning from Camp David, Biden was asked if the incident changes the US-China relationship. He replied: “No.
The Chinese government expressed its “strong dissatisfaction and protest” against the decision, accusing the US of “overreacting” and “seriously violating international practice,” but the US maintains the presence of the balloon was a violation of international law. The president said it was “not a question of trusting China” when asked how the US could still trust the country after what appears to be a blatant act of espionage.
