Talk about chutzpah!
The Chinese government said that President Joe Biden’s decision to shoot down the spy balloon that crossed America was an “excessive reaction” and that it “retains the right to respond further.”
The NY Post reports that China claims that its balloon was a “civilian airship” and not the spy device the US claimed it to be, and said that the US’s decision to destroy its property “seriously violates international convention,” according to a statement obtained by The New York Times.
“In these circumstances, for the United States to insist on using armed force is clearly an excessive reaction that seriously violates international convention,” the statement said. “China will resolutely defend the legitimate rights and interests of the enterprise involved, and retains the right to respond further.”
Two US Air Force fighter jets took out the balloon off the coast of North Carolina Saturday afternoon.
Real life. Trash wants its toy back.
We can do without this.
China killed millions of humans by purposely spreading Covid across the world, and all your worried about is a balloon?
The weaker the U.S. response, the emboldened the Chinese become. It took the Biden administration forever to shoot it down and then issue a weak condemnation. Any self respecting administration would have responded much harsher. Perhaps send military aid to Tawain, or expel the Chinese ambassador, freeze diplomatic relations or issue sanctions. In short pretend Russia would done this!!!!
The US needs to outbid China for the Bidens’ services.
