The discovery of a Chinese surveillance balloon over the U.S. poses an immediate challenge for Antony Blinken on his first visit to Beijing as secretary of state
China’s access to sensitive semiconductor technology have further soured Beijing’s outlook on an improved relationship.
“Beijing views ‘guardrails’ as an attempt to make it safe for American military assets to operate close to China, which is contrary to their interests,” said Bonnie Glaser, director of the German Marshall Fund’s Asia program. U.S. officials have been vague about what setting up “guardrails” in the relationship would even look like, other than a commitment to increasing communication.Militarily, the growing number of close calls increases the risk of fatal maneuvers, such as the 2001 collision of a U.S. military surveillance aircraft and a Chinese fighter jet near Hainan Island, which led to the death of a Chinese pilot and sparked an international row.
