China's Ministry of Foreign Affairs claims that ``American balloons are illegally flying in China's airspace,'' as the United States shoots down flying objects such as Chinese balloons one after another.
A spokesman for the National Security Council (NSC) at the White House in the United States said it was "wrong."
The U.S. military said it shot down four Chinese balloons and unidentified flying objects that crossed the mainland this month.
A spokesman for China's Ministry of Foreign Affairs said on the 13th that he "does not know" about three of the objects, and that "American balloons have illegally flown over China's airspace more than a dozen times since last year alone." claimed.
In response, a spokesman for the White House NSC = National Security Council posted on Twitter on the 13th and refuted, "The claim that the United States is flying reconnaissance balloons over China is false." .
After that, he criticized, "It is China that is flying balloons for reconnaissance. China continues to falsely claim that it is for meteorological observation."
The US side is collecting the wreckage of the three unidentified flying objects and examining them in detail, as they are different in size and flight altitude from the Chinese balloon that was shot down first.
