Continuous hype?

The US Aviation Administration said it closed part of the airspace near Canada, which was related to military activities

  [Global Network Reporter Li Shirui] Reuters just reported that the US Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) said on the evening of the 11th local time that due to the impact of US military activities, it closed part of the airspace in the state of Montana near Canada.

  The report quoted the content of the notice issued by the FAA on the evening of the 11th, stating that it is prohibited to fly in an area of ​​about 50x50 nautical miles around the Havel area of ​​​​Montana, near the Canadian border, and designate the area as "defense airspace."

  Shortly thereafter, Reuters updated news that the FAA said airspace had reopened by 20:30 ET.

  According to Reuters, the FAA declined to say whether the closure of the airspace was related to another unidentified object that had previously appeared near Canadian airspace.

  According to a CNN report earlier, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau claimed on the 11th local time that he had ordered an "unidentified object" to be shot down in the airspace of northern Canada.

The White House also issued a statement on the 11th local time about the phone call between US President Biden and Canadian Prime Minister Trudeau about shooting down "unidentified objects" in Canadian airspace.

The statement claimed that an "unidentified unmanned object" appeared in the airspace of northern Canada. Since the object was discovered, Biden has been listening to the briefing of the US national security team. On the advice of the two militaries, the leaders of the two countries authorized its shooting down.

  The White House of the United States stated on the 10th that an American fighter jet shot down an "unidentified object" floating over Alaska that day.

According to reports from Agence France-Presse and CNN, the object was shot down at 1:45 pm Eastern Time on the 10th.

White House National Security Council spokesman John Kirby said it was unclear what the "high-altitude object" was used for or where it came from, but claimed the object was shot down because it floated at 40,000 feet (12,192 meters) and was dangerous to civilians. Aviation poses a "reasonable threat".

Some people on domestic social media in the United States also speculated whether it was possible that the United States had shot down its own weather balloon.

  The Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs previously issued a statement on the U.S. claim to shoot down the Chinese unmanned airship, saying that China expresses its strong dissatisfaction and protest against the U.S. use of force to attack civilian unmanned airships.

The Chinese side has repeatedly informed the US side after verification that the airship is for civilian use and entered the US due to force majeure, which was completely accidental.

China clearly requires the US to handle it properly in a calm, professional and restrained manner.

A spokesperson for the US Department of Defense also stated that the balloon will not pose a military or personal threat to ground personnel.

Under such circumstances, the U.S. insists on using force, obviously overreacting and seriously violating international practice.

China will resolutely safeguard the legitimate rights and interests of relevant companies, while reserving the right to make further necessary reactions.
