I’m sure Xi is beyond having his feelings hurt by Biden, but just look at Bilken’s reaction lmao.
Inviting a head of state to your country to publicly insult them is unacceptable anywhere, so this is only going to further tarnish the shitty reputation of American diplomacy.
speaking of that, even though the US has openly admitted that the balloon wasn’t a surveillance device and didn’t collect any data, just yesterday my local news station was still calling it a “spy balloon” lol
Even the articles that came out confirming it was just a weather balloon referred to it as a “spy balloon” lmao.
they’re spying on our weather!
If I remember the articles correctly, they never denied it being a surveillance device, just that it transmitted (collected?) any data. So the running media story was “spy balloon that wasn’t actively spying”. That raises the question of “why?”, but libs never seemed to bother with that one.
Yeah I’ve noticed that here too. It seems like the final stage of disinfo is for people to repeat the lie on their own without any outside influence. It’s the same deal with the Uyghur thing - official government sources dropped the narrative ages ago, but you’ll still hear it repeated as if it were historical fact from journalists, influencers, redditors, etc.
