every little thing can have a dangerous telldell tore yus eff. if the relationship is so fragile that a balloon can injure it, you have to ask are there bigger problems in the relationship than balloons. diplomacy is good necessarily but there is no willingness on the chinese side to address the real concerns of the international community about behavior, the military expansion, the genocide, the internal repression, hong kong, taiwan, tibet, the uyghurs, all of it. i m sure the chinese want a meeting, but they haven t shown any willingness to do the things that they would need to do to improve the atmosphere so that we could avoid the cold war and have peace and harmony in the 21st century. they have far bigger fish to fry from their perspective. josh rogin, thanks so much. anytime. just ahead, a cnn fact check. you ve been hearing this week from president biden talking about some republicans who want social security and medicare
is this a good idea? well, i think elizabeth warren doesn t want to be debating pete buttigieg over medicare for all anymore. so she is trying to change the topic and go after his lack of transparency on fundraising or lack of transparency on mckinsey records. the problem is she s not exactly pure either. this is probably a net/net and probably what primary voters won t be talking about. what did you make of the joe biden move this week? and is it something that gave you, just you thought, okay, he can take trump on? or what was that about? well, i think it was good for him because it called attention to joe biden. he s been kind of a flat character for a lot of this campaign. but it was, again, awkward. it was strange. and for a lot of people that kind of irks them. and by the way it s not just elizabeth warren who is paying attention to him now. i think national review put him on the front page. of course not a flattering piece but i think some conservatives are worried about

base. trump is the least republican republican president. he has no history in the republican party or the conservative movement. he gave money to hillary clinton and chuck schumer. he s adopted the most crass version of conservative, really dumb kind of conservative talking points. we don t like the government. we re the anti-government party. every one that works for the government is democrat. it s a very it s the stupidist shutdown ever. they shutdown the government over medicare in 1995. kind of a big issue. 2013, obama care. the fights were a little more substantive. this is about $5 billion which isn t much in the budget. trump reversed himself after accepting a continuing resolution for the parts of the government covered.
