Washington:

President Joe Biden stated Wednesday that the US is “not in search of battle” with China regardless of tensions over the taking pictures down of what US officers say was a Chinese language spy balloon.

“We’ll compete absolutely with China, however… we’re not in search of battle — and that is been the case thus far,” he stated in an interview with the PBS community.

Biden’s feedback apparently sought to defuse tensions over the dramatic incident during which an enormous Chinese language balloon traversed a lot of the US earlier than being shot down by a US Air Pressure jet simply off the east coast on Saturday.

Requested if the incident had prompted main harm to the connection with Beijing, Biden stated “no.”

China insists the balloon was merely conducting climate analysis however the Pentagon described it as a high-tech spying operation. The balloon floated at an altitude far increased than most airplanes and crossed straight over at the least one delicate US navy web site.
