BEIJING – The United States should work with China to manage differences over the Chinese balloon that flew into US airspace, a Chinese foreign ministry spokesman said on Thursday.
The US Senate on Wednesday unanimously passed a pair of resolutions condemning China for sending a surveillance balloon over the United States, joining the House in formally decrying an incident that has prompted a bipartisan chorus of demands for accountability on Capitol Hill. The second, a bipartisan resolution from both Democrat and Republican senators, rebukes China for a “brazen violation” of US sovereignty with the spy balloon. The balloon alarmed Montanans who spotted it in their skies on Feb 1, and it spent some time hovering near sensitive military sites in the state.
That resolution was crafted to focus acutely on China over the suggestion of some House Republican leaders, who initially floated the idea of condemning Mr Biden personally over the incident, as many Republican members were already doing publicly.
