Well, howdy there, internet people, it's Bill again.
So today we are going to talk about the US and China
in Munich and how hopefully all of this balloon stuff
will be coming to an end soon.
The United States State Department has confirmed
that the Secretary of State will be traveling
to the Munich Security Conference.
This is a little get together
where 99 ministers meet, it happens every year.
The location of it is kind of chosen,
so high-level talks can occur, so people can sit down
and just chat and kind of get a face-to-face meeting.
The Secretary of State's counterpart from China
will also be there.
There's no official meeting set, but the odds are they will attempt to sit down and work
out a little deal and come to an arrangement when it comes to balloons.
They will talk about the 10 US balloons that China alleges flew over their territory and
the US denies.
the Chinese balloon or balloons that flew over U.S. territory that China denies and they'll kind
of hash it out. This would parallel how a lot of stuff worked during the Cold War and how
agreements were reached in private, and then us commoners were told about it later.
I would imagine that that is going to occur. I'm fairly certain that's what
State Department is hoping will occur. If the Secretary of State is unable to
get a meeting and no face-to-face takes place, that would demonstrate pretty
clearly that U.S.-Chinese relations are up in the air. But with a little bit of
luck they'll be able to work out a deal. They will come to some kind of
understanding. Now, if they have a meeting and they don't work out a deal, that's,
that is probably because somebody is not authorized to make a decision somewhere.
So they will have a phone call and work it out later. Or if they are just unable
to come to any kind of accord, any kind of agreement, or they can't even get a
meeting, one side doesn't want to talk to the other, that means it goes to the
next level. So you will see an executive visit or phone calls or series of phone
calls that will eventually be publicized to work all of this out. Again, the reality
is both countries know surveillance flights are incredibly common. So
So they're just kind of probably hoping to set down the rules to a gentleman's agreement
as to how this stuff will be governed in the future to try to keep everybody on the same
page to avoid any potential conflicts, just kind of de-escalate everything.
And let's hope it works.
Anyway, it's just a thought.
y'all have a good day.
