“Balloon” the new axis of tensions; China’s Ministry of Defense warned America

According to the report of Fars International News Agency, the controversial action of the US military to shoot down a Chinese balloon over the Atlantic Ocean using an F-22 fighter is still in the news, and now the Ministry of Defense of China has warned the US about this.

Media sources from Beijing reported that the Ministry of Defense of China protested the action of the US military in shooting down the Chinese balloon and announced that this action would lead to a response from Beijing.

According to “CNBC“, China’s Ministry of Defense described the US action against the Chinese balloon as an “attack” and warned that this action was an “extreme reaction”.

Tan Kefei, the spokesperson of the Ministry of Defense of China, announced that China reserves the right to use the necessary tools to deal with similar situations.

The senior Chinese official did not elaborate on what he meant by warning the United States that Chen would face “similar conditions.”

It was on Saturday evening (last night Tehran time) that following several days of controversy among the Americans and the country’s media about the entry of a Chinese “spy balloon” into American airspace, the President of this country, Joe Biden, ordered the military to shoot down this balloon.

The US Army sent an F-22 fighter jet to shoot down this balloon over the Atlantic Ocean. The balloon that China said was a “civilian” balloon to receive meteorological information.

Before the reaction of the Ministry of Defense of China, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of this country strongly criticized the downing of the balloon and described this action of the United States as “a clear extreme reaction and a serious violation of international custom”.

China’s Foreign Ministry today (Sunday) issued a statement expressing its “strong dissatisfaction and protest against the use of force by the United States to attack an unidentified civilian aircraft”.

In its statement, Beijing has reserved the right to retaliate against Washington’s action and emphasized: “China will resolutely support the legitimate rights and interests of the relevant company, and at the same time reserves the right to take further measures in response to take this action”.
