Blinken also alerted Wang to the “implications and consequences” of providing “material support” to Russia in its war against Ukraine, added the same source.
This meeting took place the same day that Wang lashed out at the US in his appearance before the international forum, in which he described President Joe Biden’s decision to bring down the balloon as an act “incomprehensible and almost hysterical”.
