Remember that Chinese “spy balloon” that travelled across the entire U.S. a couple of years ago? Well, it seems that President Joe Biden’s administration purposefully tried to keep a tight lid on the details of the balloon in order to preserve relations with China.

According to Trump administration information reported by Fox News, the Biden regime held talks with the CCP concerning the spy balloon in an effort to determine how to convey details of the balloon while minimizing the damage of public perception of relations between the two nations.

Fox News reported:

Biden officials held discussions with Beijing Feb. 1, 2023, about the balloon, and discussed the impact disclosing the balloon to the public could have on the relationship with China, internal State Department documents show, two Trump administration officials told Fox News Digital.

An internal State Department readout of the talks between Blinken and a top Chinese diplomat said Blinken stated that if the presence of the balloon were revealed publicly, it could have "profound implications for our relationship" with China, particularly amid efforts to stabilize the bilateral relationship with Beijing, two Trump administration officials familiar with the documents told Fox News Digital.[…]

Likewise, another senior State Department official also held private talks on Feb. 1, 2023, with Chinese counterparts. A readout from that discussion says that the official claimed the longer it took to mitigate the issue would only increase the likelihood that news of the balloon would become public, posing greater challenges managing the situation, the Trump administration officials said.

So basically, Secretary of State Antony Blinken seemingly decided in talks with enemies of the U.S. that the American public didn’t need to know the exact details of what was going on so that the Biden Administration could stay in the good graces of the CCP and Dictator Xi Jinping.

A spokesperson for Blinken tried to downplay the situation and claim that their boss wanted to tell the American public about what was going on, but the readouts from the actual discussions seem to be telling a different story.

“Former Secretary Blinken advocated strongly to tell the American people about China’s rogue balloon, which is exactly what happened," the spokesperson Fox News Digital. "He has a long history of being tough on China while actually delivering results.”

Who knows what to believe from anyone associated with government anymore? If they’re not lying to you, they’re hiding the truth without audibly lying to you. And if they get caught and confronted about specific information that the American public should know, they claim that it’s for YOUR benefit.

I don’t care which government it is, anywhere around the world or domestically, these people are not to be trusted to divulge what’s actually happening to the country the people fund. Remember, the government doesn’t exist without the people’s money.
