VOA is in Munich Amid US-China Tensions Over Balloon #shorts

VOA's Nike Ching is in Munich, Germany, while U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken meets with China's top diplomat Wang Yi on the sidelines of the Munich Security Conference amid a running dispute between the two world powers over a suspected Chinese spy balloon shot down by the United States.

"We can confirm that Secretary Blinken concluded a meeting with ... Wang Yi on the margins of the Munich Security Conference," a senior State Department official said by email, on the condition of anonymity.

The dispute over the balloon - which flew over the United States and Canada before being shot down on President Joe Biden's orders, hurt bilateral relations and came at a time when the West is closely watching Beijing's response to the Ukraine war.

Earlier on Saturday, Wang took a swipe at the United States, accusing it of violating international norms with "hysterical" behavior by shooting down the balloon. (Reuters)

If china really had no control of the balloon, than a civil action would have been to notify the country’s it was passing over to alert them to the situation.

Say, VoA; while you're there in Munich how about showing everyone the massive anti-war demonstrations? Or does that not fit any of your narratives?

How about lowering the caption text so as not to obscure the speaker's face? The positioning at 1/3 the height of the frame did nothing to enhance yes, in design the Rules of Three and all that is good practice, but titling over anything in the scene that's moving is not, and especially not over such stunning beauty. OMG.
