Biden a weak President? US reveals China rejected Pentagon chief's call after balloon shooting

The drama over the alleged Chinese spy balloon shot down by a U.S. fighter jet is far from over.

U.S. Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin said he had reached out to his Chinese counterpart via a special crisis hotline but the call went unanswered. Angry at Washington's decision to shoot down what China described as a weather balloon, Beijing said that the U.S. had 'not created a proper atmosphere for talks.'
