In Beijing, they said they were very sad and said it was a meteorological ship that had gone astray.
The Chinese Foreign Ministry expressed “strong dissatisfaction and protest” that the US shot down their balloon, which they considered a spy balloon. This was reported by the Air Force with reference to the Chinese Foreign Ministry.
“The Chinese side has repeatedly informed the American side after checking that the balloon was for civilian use and entered the United States due to force majeure,” the Chinese Foreign Ministry said, adding that it was a complete accident.
The discovery of the balloon reportedly sparked a diplomatic crisis that resulted in US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken canceling a trip to China.
It will be recalled that on Saturday, the US military shot down a Chinese balloon the moment it was over the sea.
