China on Saturday lambasted the US for claiming its balloons as surveillance objects and termed it as "hysterical and absurd". Addressing a gathering of world leaders at the Munich Security Conference, China's top diplomat Wang Yi alleged the US of trying to "smear" the Asian giant while it itself was implementing policies that ran counter to its paradigms such as free trade.
