US-China Relations: China got angry with Biden’s statement, started talking about diplomatic etiquette

The tension between China and America regarding the spy balloon is increasing continuously. It has been made clear by US President Joe Biden that no one will hesitate to take action if there is a threat to his sovereignty. Along with this, the US President also exposed the Chinese intentions to the whole world. Now this step of America has made China angry. He has also started calling the statement of the American President irresponsible. Beijing has condemned US President Joe Biden’s remarks as “highly irresponsible”.

Foreign Ministry spokesman Mao Ning said at a regular briefing that such rhetoric on the part of the US is highly irresponsible and against basic diplomatic etiquette. US-China relations have deteriorated following the appearance of a high-altitude Chinese balloon in US skies following the November G20 meeting between Biden and Xi, which was shot down by the US Air Force on Saturday. The US has alleged that the balloon was made for espionage. China has denied the claims, arguing that it was a weather observation device.

Amid growing tension with China over suspected spy balloons, US President Joe Biden said that if China poses a threat to US sovereignty, steps will be taken in self-defense. The US military destroyed a suspected Chinese spy balloon over the Atlantic Ocean last week. Reacting strongly to this action, China on Sunday warned of the consequences of this US use of force.
