- Blinken to Meet with Wang Yi after Balloon Incident | The two top diplomats could meet this week at the Munich Security Conference, signaling a cooling down of the tension heightened by the recent balloon incident. The incident has resulted in the U.S. sanctioning six more Chinese companies, and China has vowed to retaliate. The U.S. said China had sent more such balloons across the world over the years. On the other hand, China claimed that American high-altitude balloons have flown over Chinese airspace 10 times in the last year without Beijing's permission. Both countries denied having surveillance balloons over each other's territory.
