U.S. tells China it wants to ‘move beyond’ spy balloon

The Biden administration tells China it wants to “move beyond” the recent spy balloon controversy. White House national security adviser Jake Sullivan met a Chinese foreign policy adviser in Vienna this week. According to a senior official, Sullivan told him the administration is “looking to move beyond” tensions spurred by the shooting down of a Chinese spy balloon that flew across the continental United States. The meeting was not publicized ahead of time and the White House described the discussions as “candid” and “constructive.”
