SHANGHAI –
China’s foreign ministry said on Sunday that it expressed its dissatisfaction and strong opposition to the United States’ use of force to attack its airship.
A US military fighter jet shot down a balloon, which Washington has described as a Chinese spy balloon, off the coast of South Carolina on Saturday, a week after it entered US airspace and set off a dramatic and public espionage story. Sino-American relations deteriorated.
