National Security Council spokesperson John Kirby dismissed criticism over a trip U.S. officials made to China on the anniversary of the Tiananmen Square massacre.
Council spokesperson John Kirby called two recent close encounters between Chinese and U.S. military aircraft and ships"unacceptable" on Monday while also downplaying a controversial visit by U.S. officials to China that coincided with the anniversary of the Tiananmen Square massacre.We would not call it a misstep," Kirby said during Monday’s White House Press Briefing."I mean, this was a long-planned trip and this is the way the schedules worked out.
Republican Rep. Darrell Issa, who serves on the House Foreign Affairs Committee, told Fox News Digital that the trip only benefits China and Chinese President Xi Jinping while weakening the United States' position on the world stage."This is no ordinary foreign policy stumble," he said."It’s a concession demanded by the Chinese and granted by a White House and State Department willing to bend.

China tightens access to Tiananmen Square on anniversary of 1989 pro-democracy protestsChina has tightened already strict access to Tiananmen Square in central Beijing on the anniversary of 1989 pro-democracy protests. In Hong Kong, which had been the last Chinese-controlled territory to hold commemorations, police detained at least eight protesters on the eve of the anniversary at Victoria Park. The large public space had been the scene for an annual candlelight gathering to remember the hundreds or thousands killed when army tanks and infantry descended on central Beijing on the night of June 3 and into the morning of June 4, 1989. Discussion of the events has long been suppressed in China and become increasingly off-limits in Hong Kong since a sweeping national security law was imposed in June 2020.
