Chinese spy balloon incident suggests dysfunctional Xi regime threatens world security 🔎 Analysis by michael2day
Leading China expert Steve Tsang, director of the SOAS China Institute in London, thinks it’s possible that everyone sought clearance from Xi, but the president or his office were so overwhelmed with approval requests that they lost track of some, and thus failed to provide the top-level co-ordination that was needed. In other words, Xi’s office might have approved both the Blinken visit and the balloon operation without joining the dots.
We should bear in mind that Xi was keen for the visit to go ahead as way to thaw US-China ties, and free up the import of US microchips to help China’s troubled economy. Either way, events suggest “that China’s policy making under Xi is highly problematic”, Tsang says. “It either cannot properly assess the US political scene and politics and thus failed to understand the consequences of such a mission being discovered and how it will impact wider China-US relations, or it does not care.
“Whichever explanation it is, the way China conducts its policy towards the USA is not reassuring regarding the peace and security of the world.” All this, and reports of Beijing’s special phone lines to the Pentagon not being answered, beg some serious questions. What happens if and when there is another incident such as China’s downing in 2001 of US navy surveillance aircraft over South Hainan Island, or heaven forbid a development in the Taiwan Strait that might prompt military retaliation from one side or the other?
