MUNICH, Feb 18 — China’s top diplomat Wang Yi on Saturday blasted the United States’s reaction to what Washington has called a Chinese spy balloon as “hysterical and absurd”, in uncharacteristically strong remarks against the top Western power.
“There are many balloons from many countries in the sky. Do you want to down each and every one of them?” Wang charged. Beijing denies it uses spy balloons and says the craft was for weather research. Subsequently it accused Washington of sending its own espionage balloons over its territory — something that the US has denied.With Blinken also in Munich for the conference, all eyes are on whether both sides succeed in setting up a meeting.Washington, he said, had the wrong view of China as a serious geopolitical challenge and a threat to the United States.
“We hope the US side would take a pragmatic and proactive attitude towards China and work together with China to return our bilateral ties to accept a track of sound development,” he added. That project may be tested again soon, with a high-level Pentagon official reportedly planning to visit Taiwan in the coming days.
