We have all seen how Secretary Blinken has been dominated by the Chinese since this administration has been in play.
Blinken is now claiming that he flipped the script.
According to Blinken, he picked up the phone and called the Chinese and gave them a piece of his mind.
Tough Guy
Blinken has been embarrassed on the national stage several times by the Chinese.
He has never had a backbone, yet we are to believe that is the case here.
Blinken stated, “I made clear that the presence of this surveillance balloon in U.S. airspace is a clear violation of U.S. sovereignty and international law, that it’s an irresponsible act and that the PRC decision to take this action on the eve of my planned visit is detrimental to the substantive discussions that we were prepared to have.
“I told director Wang that the United States remains committed to diplomatic engagement with China and that I plan to visit Beijing when conditions allow.
“In the meantime, the United States will continue to maintain open lines of communication with China, including to address this ongoing incident.”
The Chinese were so scared of Blinken, they actually threatened the United States.
A Chinese Foreign Ministry had warned Biden not to shoot down the balloon.
Now that it has been shot down, they are threatening to take retaliatory measures against the United States.
Now we just have to see how far Xi wants to take this and if Biden will stand up to him or do what he usually does… run and hide in the corner.
