You’ve got China, you know, opening up cases in the U.S. trying to steal U.S. technology from universities. President Xi is going to be meeting with the Iranian president. At what point do you review — a big review — of the U.S. relationship with China? And at what point does the President ask for a call from President Xi?”

MR. KIRBY: Again, I don’t have a call to talk about today. Let me just, again, level-set here. And I know I’m running close on time, but —

MS. JEAN-PIERRE: Yeah.

MR. KIRBY: Sorry.

MS. JEAN-PIERRE: No, it’s not your fault.

MR. KIRBY: But the President met with President Xi at Bali, at the G20 … And Secretary Blinken was dang near wheels up trying to head to Beijing to have those kinds of conversations … And then the Chinese decided to fly a surveillance balloon over the continental United States. And it wouldn’t have been appropriate to have that meeting. When is — when are those discussions going to get back on the calendar? I couldn’t tell you. As you — as Secretary Blinken has said, it’ll happen at the appropriate time. Now is not that time.

On 2/13/2023, NSC spokesman John Kirby fielded questions from reporters since Karine Jean-Pierre can’t do her job properly. Joe Biden is once again hiding from the public. Biden has nothing on his public schedule for the entire day and he still hasn’t addressed the American people after the US military shot down multiple objects over US airspace.
