China has strongly condemned the US military’s recovery operation of an unmanned balloon that allegedly drifted into Chinese airspace. The Chinese Foreign Ministry accused the US of violating international law and warned of “resolute measures” should the operation continue.
The incident began when US military personnel deployed a balloon to monitor air quality in the South China Sea. The balloon reportedly drifted into Chinese airspace, prompting a stern warning from the Chinese military. The US military then began a recovery operation to retrieve the balloon, which China claims is a violation of international law.
In response, the Chinese Foreign Ministry issued a statement condemning the US military’s actions. The statement warned that China would take “resolute measures” if the US continued its recovery operation. The statement also accused the US of violating international law and undermining China’s sovereignty by entering its airspace without permission.
The incident has caused a stir in the international community, with many countries expressing concern over China’s reaction. The US military has defended its actions, arguing that it was simply attempting to retrieve a lost balloon.
The incident has highlighted the growing tensions between China and the US over the South China Sea. The US has accused China of militarizing the region and attempting to control the waters, while China has accused the US of attempting to encroach on its sovereignty.
For now, it appears the US military has halted its recovery operation and the balloon has been safely retrieved. It remains to be seen how China will respond, but it is clear that the US and China are locked in a tense standoff over the South China Sea.
