China expresses “strong dissatisfaction and protest” against downing of balloon

quote:

China has expressed its “strong dissatisfaction and protest” against the US’ shooting down of its balloon, saying Washington was “overreacting” and “seriously violating international practice,” in a statement from its foreign ministry.

“China expresses its strong dissatisfaction and protest against the US's use of force to attack civilian unmanned aircraft. The Chinese side has repeatedly informed the US side after verification that the airship is for civilian use and entered the US due to force majeure – it was completely an accident,” reads the statement, which was published Sunday morning local time (Saturday evening in the US).

“China clearly asked the US to handle it properly in a calm, professional and restrained manner. A spokesman for the US Department of Defense also stated that the balloon will not pose a military or personal threat to ground personnel,” the statement continued.
“China will resolutely safeguard the legitimate rights and interests of relevant companies, while reserving the right to make further necessary reaction,” the ministry said.

It’s like a woman that cheats on you and then you end up in trouble.

Well played China.

They are going to poke and use every US reaction as an excuse to retaliate against Taiwan

If that's a real statement it just shows how weak this Administration is...they violate our air space and are pissed at us.

Tough. Even if true what do they expect? Would they "express strong dissatisfaction" if another country had shot it down? Probably not. They have no right to be upset over this.

re: China expresses “strong dissatisfaction and protest” against downing of balloon
So why the need for them to be upset about a balloon getting shot down after traversing the US?

Unsure honestly, but pretending this balloon was some sort of great spying tech is laughable. It's like those saying it could carry an emp. That shite arse balloon couldn't carry the average OTer in a lawn chair
