It should be noted that two days ago, the Pentagon tracked a suspected Chinese spy balloon in the US airspace and issued a red alert, on which the US Air Force aircraft surrounded the balloon.
China apologized to the United States for the issue of the spy balloon, saying it was owned by a private company that was engaged in climate change research.
The United States had termed China’s position as insufficient and had warned that in the future any such action would be given a stern response.
