  • The US military recently shot down what it called a Chinese spy balloon over South Carolina, which China claimed was a civilian research vessel, blown off course, and that the US overreacted.

  • The dispute has delayed efforts by both sides to patch up frayed relations, with US Secretary of State Antony Blinken, who postponed a planned trip to Beijing over the balloon, considering meeting China’s top diplomat, Wang Yi, in Munich this week.

  • US Deputy Secretary of State Wendy Sherman said communication with China had not stopped, but did not give any details about future high-level meetings.

  • The White House has added six Chinese entities linked to Beijing’s suspected surveillance balloon program to an export blacklist.
