4 things to know about flying objects shot down after China's spy balloon: Biden, Blinken and UFOs
Blinken says China has not apologized
Secretary of State Antony Blinken appeared on multiple Sunday shows over the weekend as he traveled overseas. Blinken's itinerary included a meeting with Wang Yi, his Chinese counterpart.
Speaking with ABC's Martha Raddatz Sunday, Blinken detailed his exchange with the Chinese diplomat about what he characterized as a "violation of our sovereignty" and "violation of international law." China dismissed the spy balloon as a "civilian airship used for research, mainly meteorological purposes" that "deviated far from its planned course" because of the wind.
When Raddatz said to Blinken, "I assume you got no apology," the secretary of state answered in the affirmative. Stressing that while he did "not want to characterize what he said," Blinken told Raddatz, "you're correct."
