China has always adhered strictly to international law since it is a responsible nation. After the US continued to hype a balloon incident, Wang Yi, director of the Office of the Foreign Affairs Commission of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, told US Secretary of State Antony Blinken on Friday that China does not accept any unfounded rumors or hype.
According to a representative for the Chinese Foreign Ministry, a Chinese unmanned civilian aircraft used mostly for meteorological research accidentally entered US airspace on Friday owing to “force majeure,” and the US spy claim was refuted. Wang and Blinken discussed how to handle the accidental occurrence in a composed and professional manner over the phone. According to Wang, in the face of unforeseen circumstances, all parties should remain focused, communicate promptly, avoid making incorrect assumptions, and manage and regulate disputes.
Due to a situation of force majeure, a Chinese unmanned airship accidentally entered US airspace. The Chinese side has confirmed the incident and informed the US side of the details. It is a non-commercial airship that is used for research, mostly meteorological research. The airship strayed far from its intended trajectory due to the Westerlies’ influence and its limited capacity to guide itself, the spokeswoman added in the statement.
“The facts are quite clear, and this is a wholly unforeseen circumstance brought on by force majeure. China always complies strictly with international law and respects the territorial integrity and sovereignty of all nations “Read the declaration.
We do not intend to violate and have never violated any sovereign nation’s airspace or territory. The incident was exaggerated and exploited as ammunition against China by some US politicians and media outlets. The official stated that the Chinese side vehemently rejects this sort of conduct.
