Republicans on Wednesday blasted Vice President Kamala Harris for downplaying the impact that the takedown of the Chinese spy balloon over U.S. airspace will have on diplomatic relations between the two countries.
In an interview with Politico, Ms. Harris said she didn’t think the episode would impact relations between Washington and Beijing, apparently overlooking the fact that Secretary of State Antony Blinken canceled a scheduled trip to China over the controversy.
Ms. Harris offered her assessment of the future of U.S.-China relations in the interview with Politico published Wednesday. Mrs. Harris also noted in the interview that she conveyed that approach in November when she briefly met with Chinese President Xi Jinping at the Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation summit in Bangkok.
The White House called the presence of the spy balloon a “clear violation” of U.S. sovereignty and international law earlier this month as the balloon tracked across the lower 48 states. China’s defense ministry also refused to take a phone call from Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin on a special crisis line last week, saying the U.S. had “not created the proper atmosphere” for dialogue and exchange.
