At the outset of his first bilateral meeting with his Chinese counterpart, Secretary of State Antony Blinken criticized Beijing for sending a surveillance balloon over American territory.
To learn the reason it required President Joe Biden eight days to react to the Chinese spy balloon, Republicans in the House are planning to issue subpoenas to prominent figures of the intelligence community and threaten to block funding unless they receive answers.
China threatened retaliation against the United States on Sunday after the Biden administration waited days before shooting down a Chinese surveillance balloon that drifted near military and nuclear installations.
