00:00:00.120 --> 00:00:06.240
[CC may contain inaccuracies] The US has found a balloon surveillance
Chinese surveillance balloon, saying

00:00:06.240 --> 00:00:09.000
it's not going to shoot it down because
of the risk of debris.

00:00:09.210 --> 00:00:13.620
But the timing of this is interesting
because it's really just on the eve of

00:00:13.650 --> 00:00:17.670
Anthony Lincoln's visit to Beijing.
This is the first visit by U.S.

00:00:17.670 --> 00:00:22.980
secretary of state since that very
frosty visit by Pompeii back in 2018.

00:00:23.340 --> 00:00:27.240
Also, this reports that Blinken will
meet with Psy himself.

00:00:27.510 --> 00:00:32.400
So Beijing is what very hard to create
broadly, quite constructive backdrop to

00:00:32.400 --> 00:00:35.490
this meeting.
And the question now is whether or not

00:00:35.730 --> 00:00:40.350
spotting of this surveillance balloon,
the timing of this risk, undermining

00:00:41.640 --> 00:00:44.400
any potential movement forward that we
could have.

00:00:44.460 --> 00:00:48.390
As you say, the US has been saying
repeatedly it's trying to put a floor on

00:00:48.390 --> 00:00:50.550
the relationship.
But of course, at the same time, it has

00:00:50.550 --> 00:00:55.010
somewhat press this advantage, pushing
forward with many of those chip

00:00:55.020 --> 00:00:59.010
sanctions, winning the support from the
Netherlands and Japanese to support them

00:00:59.220 --> 00:01:01.830
in those restriction.
And, of course, extending the ban

00:01:02.250 --> 00:01:03.260
surrounding Chloé.
