China On Thursday, he said he turned down a call from US Pentagon chief Lloyd Austin over Washington’s “irresponsible” decision to shoot down an alleged spy balloon last week.

“This irresponsible and seriously misguided act has not created a climate conducive to dialogue and communication between the two armies,” the Chinese Defense Ministry said.

“USA insisted on a forceful attack on the plane, which seriously violates international practice and sets a bad precedent,” the ministry added. China “reserves the right to use the necessary means to resolve such situations.”

Beijing acknowledged that balloon came from China but he said it was for civilian use.

Tensions between China and the US

Estimated Episode spy ball China has triggered a new political crisis between the two powers that has undermined any attempt at détente in an atmosphere of growing mutual distrust.
