Recent revelations about the Biden administration's willingness to give Beijing a pass for flying a spy balloon over sensitive U.S. military installations merely represent a continuation of the White House's "misguided" China policy – one that will only invite further "belligerent" behavior from Beijing, foreign policy experts say.

Instead of a hardline stance pairing a public reprimand with the issuance of sanctions, U.S. officials took a softer approach to dealing with China in the wake of the balloon incident.
