A congressional delegation is in Taiwan amid heightened tensions between Washington and Beijing over the Chinese spy balloon that flew over much of the United States earlier this month.
“Our efforts to come here are in no way provocative of China, but consistent with the president’s foreign policy that recognizes the importance of the relationship like Taiwan, while still seeking ultimately, peace in the region,”You Si-kun, the head of Taiwan’s legislature, met with the US delegation on Monday and addressed comments made by Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi over the weekend at the Munich Security Conference.
Blinken said Wang offered “no apology” for the spy balloon during their meeting in which he warned that the incident was “unacceptable and can never happen again.” Earlier Wang accused the US of being “hysterical” in shooting down the aircraft, noting it was “absurd” that it violated international norms.
